I've seen a few people who though AP and the MA building were all the content CoX had 
they were probably the same people amazed by how BIG (lol, not really) CO's zones were and there were a whole FIVE of them!

Oh snap, apparently I'm anti-PuG for suggesting people *gasp* get to know people.

If you're having issues finding teams, it's you, not the game. Make some friends who do the same stuff you do - works for the rest of us. |

Eh? But you quoted yourself...are you forum PVPing with yourself?

Knockback is mitigation. It won't be removed just because meleers ***** and moan. - Chaos Creator
No, someone left me negative rep (lol) with "anti-pug" as the comment - kind of interesting considering I'm no such thing.

I just want to say to the OP: Even after i16 goes live I will not be leaving the AE (Except for the occasional task force). I'm sure there are lots of others like me. So you won't be getting your wish to have the devs make everyone bored/desperate enough to team with you. Sorry.

I can't say I agree with his point, but I don't get your retort either. If you team with friends, it's not a PuG anymore.

You know what I found out in the past couple of days? Alot of the people hanging out around in Atlas Park looking for AE aren't only looking for AE, they just want a team to get XP. How do I know this? Because I've stopped being lazy and started making almost every team I'm in, and one of the best ways to put a team together is to hit that little button in the team window that says "find members", search for your particular level range, and start sending tells to everyone in that list who's around your level, even if they aren't in the same zone. Most of the people I end up recruiting are in Atlas, and not because they specifically want AE, but because that's where everyone else is.
I don't even really use broadcast anymore. The only place that tool seems to be made useful anymore is if you are looking for an AE team, but for any other kind of team I prefer to search/send tells.
So you know what all this means? It means I don't really mind AE anymore, and I believe like Defenestrator said, the only people who really specifically look for AE are people who previously did their farming in PI, like my brother who does ticket farms on his 50 tank a lot.
Edit: Another tip...YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A FULL GROUP TO RUN MISSIONS! If all you can seem to get is 4 or 5 go ahead and set a mission, run it, and when you get out see if anyone new has logged in who wants to join. All waiting around until you have 8 people does is hamper your XP.
the new issue, I16, is going to reduce rewards for anything found to be a farm mission. Thus allowing people to fill a mission with bosses for the challenge, but negating the reward for much of it to avoid it attracting farmers.

"AE might be a tool to make devs look funky in 'universal devs parties' Half of them at the bar, half dancing, and the 3d half askin how WoW did it, still.
Its perfect nonsence."
... worth a thousand laughs. AT LEAST.

I've got a couple of 100% fool-proof, always work methods for finding a team-
1.) Cash in a respec.
2.) work on AE mission.
I guarantee you, you will get a flood of tells asking if you're LFT.
Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.

But I haven't noticed anything preventing me from playing the game. Maybe you need to step out of Atlas?
