I think the issue is it's how people are behaving in dungeons vs. overland. Everyone is obviously really horny to level up as fast as possible, so overland zones where it seems like almost anyone can split a spawn it makes sense to just farm a camp of blues solo instead of grouping. Though it makes no sense to do that in dungeons.

I was 11 in SRO and there was a Warrior and me at the two three spawn camps and then a necro at the two spawn one. I broke my camp horribly and the warrior grabbed the cleric I pulled to the line (thanks by the way, went fine after that) and then I just got my full level nearly sitting there for an hour. Before all this I threw out an OOC message and then just went to the camp because obviously no one wanted to group.

I ran into a 7 who wanted orc groups and earlier an 8 who wanted them, both Shaman like me. Actually turned down the 8 because we were duoing fine and if he pulled aggro he'd just get croaked and told the 7 he should just kill some gators in Innothule. So I think it's a combination of a few things, soloing just being pretty efficient for a bunch of people who are engaging in obsessive compulsive behavior and a bunch of people who want to get into a group fighting stuff that cons Yellow to them so they get a little bit of a slingshot.

edit: In the end using SRO as an example, you can easily kill snakes there if you're seven or eight and once you're nine or ten you can probably start getting solo orcs too. I think a lot of this "why won't people group with me" might be a result of being unwilling to XP off blues and dark greens.

Log into EC and theres no one on all day, prime time theres a couple people. Run to oasis and its just a few solo classes. Nothing much going on. Just doesnt have that bumbling, exciting community feeling.

argh
arrggg, no one in low lvl zones anymore, must be because the server is dying.

Also probably part of this is getting massively outleveled by a lot of people who on their second (or more?) progression server. But who knows maybe you'll get a group with that level 4 Shaman in full rubicite.

I didn't start getting regular group requests until I left Faydwer. Unrest and Crushbone are bottlenecked something fierce. Your options don't really open up until you leave there.

Not sure what orig poster is having such issues.

I am enchanter because i have to warp out or log out soon my wife or family need me. I chose this class because i can solo mostly or group when i have time.

The times i was looking to group i found one no problem or i would sent tells to people if they had room or wanted to duo or treo.

right now at 23 i have been soloing kerra but has slowed down some. I tried to get a few people to join me but it is far away for most except druids which is what i needed to break up tougher camps there.

Point of all this text as other have said form groups, send tells while you solo a low blue when you can you will get duo trio and groups be friendly.

PS and for god sake do not turn away a sk/ paly/bard/ or ranger i have had fun grouping with bards and shadow knights so far and the xp has bar moved.
