This game's teaming rate is starting to match that of WoW.

If Rewards arent the answer,what is,or could be?


Come on players,you wrecked AE and all those teams that I just loved joining and playing,and making progress in-game on,especially on red side.You wrecked AE because we wanted to make the game harder for players to find teammates and gain levels,while you all laughed and danced in joy.You left other players no choice but to use AE when you just sat on our butts at Pocket D,and meaninglessly roleplayed.What the heck did you guys care anyway?!?!You all were too busy holding Pocket D down.
I wouldn't team up with somebody who evidenced this kind of attitude if I were guaranteed a purple drop every five minutes.


Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

I would!

I worked a convenience store for 4 years, fast food for a year, and now I work in an online retail business which I have to handle customer service emails/phone calls.

In other words, I'm used to annoying twats who think that they are the center of the frelling universe. I can be nice, pretend I care about their problems, pretend that their problems aren't caused by their own frelling idiocy.. or I can just ignore them other than when I have to politely call them an idiot. >.>

... That would make a teaming incentive though..

Every players fills out a "teaming form". This teaming form gives them a "rating" which, the rating is displayed next to their name for team searching.

The worse the rating, the better drop rates the people on the team with them get!

I read the OP and found this had been slotted....



I didn't manage to read anything else, mostly because his inability to find the space bar after a comma or period started to grind my grammar bone.

We like you too, Eiko ^^
And yes, grammar and spelling do help, lots =]

The people I WOULD drop that for in an instant? They're also good enough players and considerate enough *people* that they wouldn't ask me to.

And as for "Hang out at pocket D," so what? What business is it of yours what they're doing there? They could be waiting for a PVP match with a friend to get set up, could be RPing (you know the whole MMORPG thing,) or anything else - it's their $15/month.

If you can't wait that long, too damn bad. And if I tell you "Need to find the last glowie here" and you fire back some crap about not waiting, you instantly go on /gignore and get single-starred (then I log in to the second account on the other machine and do the same thing.)
/everything he said

I also agree with what others said: The bonus xp, faster rate of killing, and improved odds of survival that come with teaming certainly act as an adequate incentive to me.
