LOL Freedom is so underrated as a server. Good PvP, good people, and I've met RP'ers on the server too. I also team, just avoid AE teams because I don't like farming. I'll do an AE mission though if people are interested in doing story arcs.
I get into mission pickup groups all the time and never have much issue. I just started on this server a couple weeks ago and so far have a pretty good impression of it.
O RLY?
Seriously, good teams are not hard to find. I was wandering around Talos Island, selling on WW and what-not, and I see somebody broadcasting for a team. I say "what the heck" and decide to join them. This was probably the most fun I've had in a long time. Keep in mind that this was a PuG in Talos, on FREEDOM! The so-called "farming server" where it's supposedly impossible to find regular teams anymore.
Anyways, the team started with just me, 2 controllers and a defender. In the middle of the first mission, we picked up a tanker, and continued with that. After the first mission, we happened upon a controller and scrapper, looking for a good team. They soon joined the crew, making the team count 7. We got the second mission set up, and everyone gathered by the door. Before we started, someone asked "Are we ready?" and right as he said that, we found a blaster who quickly joined the team. With that our team was complete, and we went ahead to complete our mission. Unfortunately, my teaming with them had to end after that mission, as I had to go eat Dinner. All in all, it was a very enjoyable session of City of Heroes.
Good teams exist people, you just have to look for them.
