Vent/Rant follows:
So I just came back from 1.5 years away from game, joined summer 06, stopped playing shortly after reaver refuge came out due to blatant grind bs. i.e. end game was dtouched and shroud, that was it. Havent rejoined my old guild yet, trying to see if I'm re-committed to playing, to not waste their time or mine. The rant I have, which was present before, is that party leaders 'looking for more' not denying your request to join. They leave you hanging in a passive aggressive fashion which is really annoying. Yes, this has always been the case, and if I were a party leader I wouldnt pick me up either. Some random pugger not guild affiliated screwing up my run? No thank you. Even worse if you're moronic enough to use myddo. But at least have the freakin *&%@$ to say NO and stop wasting my time. I realize that if you're not picked up in group within 10 seconds, chances are you wont be at all, but the devs should give us the ability to retract a party join request.
