OK, since there have been so many replies/views to my original post I think it only fair that I do an update for you all:-
Firstly, I would like comment on the correct manner in contacting people when looking for a group. As there is no manual in Realm etiquette, one can only adopt the basis that is used by others. I acknowledge that perhaps the basis I have looked for a group by “/send LFG Please “ or “/yell LFG Please” may be, well not wrong, but perhaps not the best way. To my defence though, I have used this way because I have seen so many others ask for groups on the same basis, and assumed that it was standard practise when looking for a group. In future I will try to obtain groups on a more personal/friendly basis, by personal messages and asking in a more polite manner.
[Futher update : I was on last night and EVERY person I saw looking for a group basically, said or yelled “LFG” or “LFG please”]
Now regarding some of the comments about the Level of players in RvR, to be honest I don’t believe that it makes that much difference in the general running of things, once people are Level 45+.
I have not yet seen any battles in RvR where it has been a close run thing, as to the winner, its has always been a massacre for one side or the other. I do not believe a group of 6 Lvl 50’s and 2 Lvl 45’s it that much different from a group of 8 Lvl 50’s. Whilst some of you may oppose my view on this, let me put it another way……If players are bias towards having sub-level 50’s in their group, this could result in a population of Lvl 50’s coming to RvR with no RvR experience and no Realm Abilities. I am positive that a group of sub-level 50’s with RvR experience and some Realm Abilities would spank a group of newbie RvR Lvl 50’s.
However, regardless of the above, as Minnie has quite correctly pointed out, the real question was why players seemed to be so rude when ignoring other members of their realm. I have been on a little in the past couple of days and I have started to personal message any players that I Res, asking if they happen to have any room in their group. I spent a total of about 1 hour ressing, mostly at DC and probably 70% answered my request, the fact that all the responses were negative (i.e. Group full etc) was not an issue, it was the fact that they took the 3 seconds to respond to me that was important.
Regarding Danyan’s comments about the spam created if people take the time and trouble to answer, this would not be the case, as not everyone in a group would respond would they ? One would expect the leader to answer or perhaps one other member if the leader was not there, and with a maximum of perhaps 4 groups in the area, we are only talking about 4 to 8 lines of responses.
I would like to thank some of you for your messages and group invites, Iguk and Vasili are a couple who spring to mind, thanks guys. Also thanks to those who perhaps have read my original post and have now taken the trouble to respond to players who ask for a group.
