Or have you forgotten about the Notes feature and the ability to one star players you don't want to associate with?

So if a group of players want to form a private league for their SG members, Coalition members, private global channel members, Furry group, RP group, PvP group, whatever then that's none of our damn business and we have no right to tell them they can't.

No other part of the game requires you to take random people onto your team and I see no logical reason for the devs to have changed it in the trials.

It really sort of surprised me to learn there's no way to directly control this. I mean to put it into perspective what if I wanted to run a TF that required 4 players with only 5 players. Nothing wrong with that. But wouldn't it be weird if the game could randomly toss up to 3 extra random PUG people on your team beyond your control? Sure you could kick them back out, but why go through that silliness? I don't see anything different with people who want to run with less than the maximum with leagues.

Assuming you are not favored with lightning advancement by the whims of the RNG, but that's a whole 'nother discussion already ongoing elsewhere in the forums.

I'm with Cptn_Courageous in his OP. I don't like raids. Shoe-horning them into CoX does nothing good for the game. If they're gonna insist on jamming then in where they don't fit, though, he's right, they oughta at least give us the tools to make them a little more endurable.
