    If you want try Legends out on Khyber we mostly quest together and have been known to reform a group or two when a PuG joins up with us and zerg's through a quest.

    We like to stay together and enjoy the quest and each others company. Even if it is a quest we have ran many many times. Although we are not strictly European we do have several European players from Scotland, Croatia, UK, etc...

    You might be an awesome player who is a lot of fun to party with, but I would never join an LFM like that. I don't consider myself a zerger, but whenever I see "no zerging" in an LFM, I stay away. My experiences with "no zerging" LFMs has been that the group will spend a minute or two at the entrance passing out buffs and I think that's usually a good idea. Unfortunately, they will also spend a minute or two in every single room, after all of the enemies have been killed while they figure out what the party will do next - even though a DDO quest usually just has "open the door and go into the next room" as the only realistic option on what to do next.

    I like the idea of no-zerging LFMs. I don't like the standing around while more than half of the party picks their nose after each fight that so often comes with them. It's not fair that all no-zerging LFMs get painted with the same brush, but when I'm looking for a group to join, I'm much more interested in "fun" than I am interested in "fair".

    There are signs that tends to scare people:
    - Elite the Pit, in level range and "Need guide" -> sorry but for sure the Pit is great XP, even better favor (only beaten by Shroud, and few other quest equals), but if someone post something like this that mean he don't care to learn it, he want just a ride (and often this kind on LFM atracts same type of people). I love running the Pit (on my current life character I did it 2 times on Elite in level range), and think that around 40-45 mins is not the worst time. But when someone fall 2 times into lava, or "need to find that underwater chest, and get lost, the way I am able to solo second furnance, breaker room, and main control room while rest is serching for him" it is realy annoying.
    - "No zergs" - the problem isn't that it is "wrong playstyle", the problem is that it often atracts the weakest players (you know this kind that do dual wielding pure Barbarians without TWF line or even Dex to support it, wearing full plate armor), and it scares vets, because it is often easier and faster solo quest (due to dungeon scalling) than carry 5 soulstone in your backpack fighting throught enemies that hit like train, because no scalling.
    - BYOH / Zerg / Solo tower - tends to scare weaker players, or not totaly self sufficent characters (if someone tells me that fighter can be self sufficient i will just laght (ok he can carry SF pots, but likely he will not (not all have all necro quests, also favor, and high enought stat to avoid helplesness)), also some people would like to earn money (if you use more resources than you get income out of quest, that mean you failed quest)).

    Probably stuff like "doing optionals" "slower pace" could help (of course as long as optionals are worth it -> geting conquest in Stormclave almost always require backtracking, and is totaly time inefficient, but geting conteners there is not so troublesome as almost all you can pick up on the way).
    On the other hand i find that even in "Zerging" on Khyber most vets don't mind if someone die etc. (I honestly

    I've joined a few groups that said no zerging *not entirely sure is any were yours* when I was feeling like doing whatever. Noticed theres two types.

    There is the stay together but we know our way or have read the wiki and the quest is easy enough anyway. But we just want to stick together do the optionals. But they still move at a quick pace and its a pretty good run.


    Then there is the god awful super slow I refuse to read the wiki and only want to do quests Ive never done before and want everyone to wait while I drop into sneak mode and scout out large tracks of the quest then walk back and inform everyone 20 minutes later what to expect groups. (Seriously I was in a no zerg enter the kobold where the guy rage quit because I told him it was ******** to sit at the entrance while he went into sneak mode and started to sneak. So we ran ahead of him and that started his hissy fit. The final straw for him was the puzzle he insisted on learning from scratch on his own while no one told him any "spoilers" and we just went ahead and did it.)

    So at this point I avoid quests that say no zerg, stay together for buffs/traps, etc just in case its a second type of group. (more power to you if you enjoy the second type of group and want to do it that way, its just not a way alot of people like to play so better to find a static group into that imo.)

    I know I can solo witch king towers I just dont know the quest lol thats what keeps me out of those groups. I am directionally challanged sometimes and just get lost in quests like witchking . I love BYOH though, its the best groups ever for my fvs, I dont have to worry about saving sp to nannybot and can have fun throwing blade barriers and such

    I would never join a lfm that states no rush etc. Hopefully you can find some small exclusive guild that like that, dont think there are so many tbh though.

    I would also not join your lfm. Even when I can't keep pace with them, zergers are going to come twinked to the hilt. No zergers means people with worse gear, less experience and generally weaker build points, more often than not. That means odds are that you will waste my limited playtime.

    Someone who rushes ahead and dies is either a bad player or a zerger having a bad day (we all have good and bad days with our chars). Zergers don't need buffs, and don't need healing... so waiting for either is a waste of time.

    Just a small update:

    - Moved to Orien (To start over completely and because a friend of mine is there)
    - Been using a new motto "Quests for fun and exp" and it's very popular, lots of people joining, but it may be because I'm still Lv. 7, I will keep using it so if you see that in any of my characters, you know what to expect ^^
    - Probably making a new guild - any advice on Naming is appreciated

    Being a fellow Legend on the GMT side of the world.
    if you choose to come back to khyber add me as a friend play same time in daytime/night time Gmt and have never had an issue with My Lfm`s Filling, I very rarely put description unless generally for a end game quest where it is needed for certain ones. I find generally if I`m Questing and have at least one other guildie with me in the group we will always 1 )finish 2) have a laugh at the my barbarian ressing the cleric generally followed by "did you just res the cleric?", or putting the so called zerger in our back pack to the end fight.
    Belive me a true xp runner (zerger) does not die or join a pug group they will make there own party and will waste no time bining you if you die as you will be costing them valuable xp-min ratio. just make yourself a special friends list for those you choose not run with.
