it seems pretty much impossible to find a group, at 50+... whats the deal? people are scared to group with anyone no in their own guild?

For the answer, I think we have to look at the big picture. Many players on Red99 are looking ahead to Velious, where greater levels of loot will be available - but only to the guild(s) that can win in mass PvP and hold onto the mobs afterward. Because I want to have a chance at being a top player here, I want to make sure I'm part of a guild that has a chance at that loot. That means picking a guild I enjoy and believe in and working to make it as strong as possible.

I also would like to see a server where multiple guilds are on approximately equal footing in PvP (gear/levels/numbers), so you never know who's going to win and each side actually has to try their best. That means not having one huge dominant guild. Some will say that's optimistic or even impossible, but it's something to strive for. If you, too, want a balanced server, you had better weigh in on your chosen side's behalf by raiding and PvPing with them. But I digress.

These guilded players are not scared to group outside their guild; rather, they're focused on building up their allies and working to help their own guild progress so their characters will have a better future. Plus, you never know when some unguilded character is actually an alt of a rival guild that you are helping by exping with them.

If you want to raid, you'll probably have to pick a side. Once you do, your guildmates will see you as a wise investment. You'll have access to these guilded exp groups; and if you show up to raids, you'll get gear you can only get on raids.

And by the way, you're welcome in <Fresh>.
