Just not the same...

First of all, I have a hard time feeling bad for a Mage who can't get a group. If you cant get a group where you are, go somewhere else. If you need help going somewhere else, pm me and I'll port you tonight,

Also, if a group is able to keep a certain number of mobs down with less than a full group, why should they feel obligated to let others join? I was in a group last night with great synergy and we invited a sixth to "fill it up," a somewhat more casual player who we wanted to pull, and the person had no idea what was going on and get himself killed twice, bringing our efficiency to a screeching halt.

I don't know anything about you so I am sorry if I am making assumptions about you, but you have no reason to be upset if someone else stsrted a group, is keeping the mobs down, and doesn't want to invite a certain class to the fold. It's gotta be one of the most annoying things ever to be a puller, working my butt off to keep 1-3 mobs in camp, only to come back and see a Mage pet idle until the mob is at 40%. Again, I don't know if you're like this, but there is no reason why someone should have to invite you just because you're there. I can only squeeze in a few hours of play time on the weekdays, and I want to take the path thst will give me the most exp humanly possible. Most of the time, this means a group of rogues, monks, a chanter, and a cleric.
