Ok.
Ah, Bill Burroughs stream of consciousness style posting. It's been all the rage lately. Your plans may be to focus on soloing, but mine is to continue teaming just like i usually do.
Something odd i've noticed is that i actually get more tells asking if i'm looking for team on the lower population servers than on the higher population servers. However on the higher population servers i get teams mostly by reading and chatting in the server's global channels.
Some things that the OP might want to consider: 1) today is not a holiday, 2) the average CoH/V player is mid twenties or older, and 3) in the Americas it's still early afternoon for most people.
That means that, double XP or not, the average CoH/V player is probably still at work or in class. Give it a couple more hours and then see how things are.

Yes, they gave us new toys to play with this week but still no one is teaming because alot of people own more than one account so they team with themselves. Whats the point?

Try after 6PM EST, if you still have problems finding a team I'd suggest you take the initiative and start a team yourself. Every server also has it's own forum section, in which many players post TF sign ups etc. You should check it out.
Also as a player that's been here since closed beta, you should have more than a few friends in game or at least acquired the skill to make friends. Never underestimate the power of friendship...

I have two responses for this OP.
1. This reminds me that Spring Break starts this week for a lot of schools and colleges.
2. Stop it OP. You're giving Florida a bad name.
I'm not teaming right now, because I'm at work. Later tonight I'll be teaming with friends.
Oh. and doom.

What's that? Don't know? What were you doing to let teams know you were out there? Were you trying to form your own teams?
My guess is that, while you may have played in the CoH Beta, you have not been playing SINCE the CoH Beta. If you had been subbed and playing for all that time, you would know how to find and put together teams in the modern, super heavily instanced City of Heroes. Broadcasting "L34 Healer LFT" in Atlas Park may have worked in Issue 5, but it doesn't work in Issue 16, and it hasn't worked since Issue 9 or so.
Use the search function. Join the global channels on your server. Don't be picky about your levels (you earn xp while exemplared now, you retain powers selected five levels above you new exemplared level, and none of the zones are level restricted, so you don't have to worry about whether the lowbie on your team can get into Dark Astoria anymore.).
In other words, it is apparent to me that you have been away for a while, and what you used to do to find teams is now "doing it wrong." Instead of ranting about it, you could have politely asked how teaming works nowadays, and your answers, including this one, would have been far less snarky.
New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Today i thought it would be easier to find team i was wrong. I've been eating city of pies since it was in beta. When city of pies came out you were able to find a team no trouble at all. Now almost 6 years later its almost impossible to find a team.The eater base is getting lower and lower soon there will be just enough to fill one dessert tray up. Even with Double eflavor weekend happening now the eater base is low. Yes, they gave us new toys to eat with this week but still no one is teaming because alot of people own more than one account so they team with themselves. Whats the point? Guess i'll just eat cake this yummy filling just like the other yummy filling. Til they give people reason enough to team.

I must have a different version of the game than you then. I had no problems forming a mid-20's team today that ran successfully for several hours. And this was on Protector, a low pop server. And it was redside. So, tell me again about how it is impossible to find teams... |

Perhaps you need to work on your teaming skills.

No one is teaming because they team with themselves? OK. I wasn't aware of the feature that let you check a character to see if they are owned by the same player. This is important info, because if its something like a live video feed coming from the player's computer, I'll have to stop playing in my underwear!

I translated the OP to German and back, and here are the results.

Hmm. Funny, especially that part about finding a crew and filling up an operator, I think I've seen that video actually, but overall it lacks that certain something. Let's try Russian.| Today I that it would be simpler thought, for finding crew which was wrong I. I' VE, city of the Helder plays, since it was in beta. When city of the Helder came out, you were in the position to find a crew at all no trouble. Now nearly 6 years later its nearly impossible to find a crew. The player lower surface receives lower and lower soon gives it straight to enough to fill up an operator. Even with double exp weekend now is happens the player lower surface low. They did not give us new toys, in order to play with this week, but still teaming anybody, because many people possess more than, an account, so, them with even team. What is the point? Assumption i' ll straight solo ones this play like the straight other play. Until they give, followers of people enough team. |

When Helder city arrived outside, you were situated in the position in order to find crew on the entire anxiety no. Now almost 6 years is more late its almost impossible in order to find crew. The lower surface of player obtains low and it reduces it soon gives it directly to sufficiently in order to fill upward operator. Even with dual exp weekend now occurs the lower surface of the player of low-. They did not give new toys to us, in order to play with this week, but to still [obeninyatsya] into the command someone, because many people possess more than, calculation, so, they with even command. What point? Assumption of i' ll directly solo some this game loves straight another game. As long as they will not give, the following of people a sufficient command. |
Even on the MUCH quieter EU servers from 11am (when people should be at work...I'm on holiday and because I can't afford to go anywhere nice...at home..just needed two weeks off work) this morning I got invited to teams, perhaps being a defender helped but I still got invited when people should be at work/school.
