Everyone's in Atlas Park doing MA farm missions. Sad, but that does seem to be the far easiest way to get teams.

Yeah, it's sad when you start a new toon and can't even find a sewer team with two Atlas Park zones to pick from. I tried yesterday on four servers with new toons and all the other lvl 2-5's were asking for farms and said no to sewers.
Lame.. Everyone is lazy. Why do work and learn to play a character, when you can be spoon fed XP and have no freaking idea how to play?
I can learn how to play a toon by just doing MA stuff, but it is more difficult to tell how effective you are when you are lvl 5 teamed up with a bunch of 50's killing things faster than you can guage your powers.
I really hope that more people go back to playing actual content along with their MA stuff, because so far the Architect has rendered everything but TF's seemingly obsolete to the player base.
Looking for friends, I see? Well, you could look up my characters. I'm always willing to team with someone (that is, if I'm not already doing something at the moment... of course there will be an occasional tough mission that I find hard to solo, so I'll definitely be willing to team then).
Hero side:
Destructeon (Tanker)
Dreadstorm (Defender)
Supercollision (Controller)
Lady Tsukira (Scrapper)
Villain side:
Scythus (Corruptor)
Madame Kilner (Dominator)
KAOS-219 (Brute)
Mistress Bloodwrath (Mastermind)
I'm almost always on one of these. That is, when I'm not working or going outside to shop.
I actually turned off experience gain one evening, because I thought I was leveling too quickly. :P It's a shame that seems to be the only way to get teams these days outside of TFs and GMs.

Agreed.
Most of the people who seem to enjoy the content of the game still, are gathered in BMT of Champion channel. I'm sure you'll be able to find a few people who will want to run Safeguards and Mission Arcs with you.

Like me. I like the content. When I outlevel an arc, I get mad at myself. I outleveled the Vahilok Arc on 3 toons, and had to wait to hear from people doing it for me to join and Exemplar down.

Actually, I don't mind soloing. I simply offered the opportunity in case anyone was looking for a team.
I was just incredibly shocked at how empty the zone was when I looked around.
From my personal experience I just find that if you are on red side it is pretty dead but if you just pay attention to BMT, you will find plenty of blue side action.
I finally decided to start leveling a lowbie I had rolled several months ago named Bic Chic, a Fire/Thermal Controller. After getting her through her first contact and reaching level 5, I moved to Kings Row to do some radio missions.
Put out a call to see if anyone wanted to team and heard nothing back. Didn't think anything of it at the time, then I noticed I wasn't seeing any chatter whatsoever.
So I entered /whoall and saw I was the only one listed in the zone. I do realize that it won't list anyone who is in a mission, but it was still a little disconcerting. Granted Champion is no Freedom or Virtue when it comes to population, but it does have a good, solid mid-level set of regular players.
I have seen various posts that show number of subscribers, but based on number of players I seen in various zones, I wonder how many of the paid subcriptions have actual active players?
