I TR allot. I form groups when I get bored of soloing. Recently I have noticed a pattern.

My standard LFM looks like this:

"Quest name/Dificulty" Know the quest. No hand holding. Already in. Catch up if you can.


I also sometimes add in Zerg or BYOH.

I usually get allot of requests but it takes 8+ people to fill the group, and here is why.

There are always people who join and seriously ask where the quest is or they die in the wilderness on the way to the quest.

I will boot someone who obviously joined the wrong group.

After the screening process I end up with a group of like minded people who will enjoy the quest.

I think my LFM's are easy to read and understand. I try to make my LFM deter players who move at a slower pace. Not because I dislike these players but because I don't think they will have any fun in the group. My play style is centered on time VS reward. I find this to be a fun part of the DDO experience.


Any recommendations on changing my LFM so that I have to boot less people in the future?


Thanks for reading my rant/request for help.

Nothing much you can do mate.

The only groups I form are the BYOH type, I join other people's groups when I want a team. I form my own pugs when I want people to expedite something I can already do solo.

"Eye of the titan, essence farm, BYOH, in progress."

What this LFM means to me is: I'm farming essences in the eye of the titan quest, I'm already doing this, don't join unless you can take care of yourself.

What some people see: Farm, titan, ACRONYM!

It's less of an issue at higher levels but I don't start any lower level pugs unless I am going to be forming a full group that will do the entire quest, start to finish, as a standard non-zerg group. Because new players don't understand the nomenclature.
