You keep posting this:

And I keep reading, looking for this:

AND I recruit and organize my own teams, and have discovered...

but I don't find it. People who won't go out and MAKE teams, and expect teams to come find them, are like people who won't go out and MAKE money, but expect it to come find them. How's that working out?

Worry much less about finding a new server, and WAY more time finding a spell checker utility.

Oh yeah, this is C_L. No doubt about it. He keeps coming back, because he's an idiot and a glutton for punishment. He has no girlfriend, no life, probably no job so he's had to abandon the accounts he paid for, and is now getting huffy because he probably can't stand not having "49 fifties", any more.

Loser. No one plays WITH YOU. Because it's YOU. I'm not even interested in pulling my punches any more. Ocho - someone.... please, just perma ban his IP.

If your strategy in your guide is what you've used then no demonstration is necessary. I've done similar things to get team on the other servers. I'm not discounting your experience with getting teams, I'm just pointing out the experiences that my friends and I have had mirror what the OP has had when getting on and or forming teams on low populated servers. It is great that you've developed a way to get teams on all servers, however, not all players are going come in this game with that level of acumen about teaming. In addition, this isn't the first time this topic has come up on the forum with a shortage of teaming options being the reason for server merging.

Perception is a big thing and if new players perceived that this game is a ghost town, whether it is or isn't is not good for our game.

I'm not replying to the OP with this post, but I would like to point something out. I primarily play on Pinnacle. Going by observed server stress indicators over time, I'd venture to say that Pinnacle is likely the least populated North American server. If it isn't, it's close. Either way, When I log on during East Coast "peak time", I usually don't have much trouble finding something to be a part of. Often, I find myself turning down invites because I happen to be working on a grindy badge, waiting for someone else to come online, screwing around with the MA, or some other reason. But rarely do I ever have the problem of looking around and finding an empty server ... and I'm usually logged in on a villain! So really, anytime I see one of these "OMGZ we need to merge the servers cuz they're empty!" threads, I honestly have to scratch my head and wonder what these people are doing wrong.

Do not feed the trolls.

Players who want to play will ask for advice and then follow it.

I was in AP yesterday and heard lowbies complaining about not getting teams for leveling up. Maybe one of this was this guy.... They weren't interested in advice. They weren't even interested when I offered to run a team for them in the Hollows.

I've met several new players in the Hollows lately and teamed with them, helped them out, and had a good time. You can't do anything for those players who want to sit in AP and whine. It's like the story about the hound dog lying on the porch bawling... he was lying on a nail but too lazy to move off of it. That's these people in Atlas.

Re: Yous guise demanded AE nerfses and you got em, well done, youv ruined levelling in this game! (or something like that - I find it very hard to write BAD English)

Actually, what I think you'll find is that the developers made a development decision on the basis that it should not be insanely easy to Power-Level that Mission Architect needed to be controlled more tightly, and as a result the rate of levelling using Mission Architect has been adjusted. It will probably continue to be adjusted, until it's at the same rate as the rest of the game.

The developers do not have to listen to player demands. In fact, I'm not really sure any players actually demanded changes to Mission Architect - merely suggested them, since it was obvious to a large number of us that it was game-breakingly possible to Power Level at a vastly accelerated rate using the tools provided.

So, a couple of points (I do love making points):

1) It is still possible to level up in Mission Architect. In fact it's very easy. You do missions, you earn XP, you level up.

2) It is also possible to level up outside Mission Architect. In fact it's very easy. You do missions, you earn XP, you level up.

From your tone and message, what you appear to be moaning about is that 1) is no longer massively faster than 2). Got news for you, squire: If the developers don't want 1) to be massively faster than 2), then they will change things. They did this. We, the players, neither demanded it, nor had our demands accepted. It was a development decision.
