Factionless

There's nothing wrong with being in a faction as is there is nothing wrong with being factionless.

If a factionless person wanted to be in a faction, they'd be in one (except ones who get booted repeatedly) I mean come on, it's annoying to get invites when you're factionless repeatedly. It is also annoying and ill mannered when someone just 'invites' you without having spoken or asked the player. Any faction that sends random invites without asking is a 'bad' faction. I'll leave it there for others to interpret what I mean by 'bad'.

My only solution thus far is come up with an auto response saying "NOT joining factions". Anyone who cares to take a little time asking why would get a response, others will only receive an automated response.

People play for many reasons. Most mid level factionless players know they are missing out on certain elements of the game, but until they want those elements in the game they prefer to be factionless.

My parting words are: Quit sending me faction invites FFS.

First off, Literature, go crawl in your hole and do us all a favor and die you useless troll.

Second, factionless ftw. I agree with people who are factionless because of the drama. EVERY FACTION HAS DRAMA, I don't care who you are, I don't care if you don't tw/pk, you will have drama. On Dreamweaver so many factions have risen and fallen because of drama alone, its why I am once again going factionless, I have a small group of friends I can call on, we are on vent constantly, we just don't see a point in making a faction.

The only good thing that came out of faction this time is I met my in-game wife who I love alot and would do just about anything for, otherwhise it was a bunch of stressful drama bull****.

I agree Factions/Schools or whatever you choose to call them are not all they are cracked up to be. I joined a faction with one of my other charaters just to see if I had the same problems in this game as I have had in other games and so far so good.... But all in all factions are not for me.... I like myself and am happy to be on my own helping others as I want. Joining others in a squad is great, you can add them as friends if desired and ask them to help as needed and they can ask you.. and you don't have to worry about the Faction Drama.... RIGHT ON CP b:thanks

I am in the same boat. I am tired (at least for now) of faction life. I have 2 characters over 60 and both get multiple guild invites every time I log in. That doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the feeling that I am expected to justify my refusal, that this person (though I may have only just met them) may feel affronted. I usually just say I am tired of the drama. Only about half of inviters accept this. The rest will respond that there is no drama in their guild (bs) and that I should give them a shot. When I get tired of the pestering I am gonna make a fake guild just for my 2 chars... but what to name it? How about "Solitude"

I will never understand players that would rather play solo, never join factions and just do their own thing, but I guess thats ur choice.

I am one of those people that never joins a faction, but it does not mean I want to play solo. I like meeting lots of new people. People in factions tend to spend most of their time playing with people in their faction. Just this evening I met 5 new people because I needed to defeat the Raged Wraith Chief. If I had been in a faction I would never have met those people because I would have simply waited for someone in my faction to do it and joined them. And while I had a great time with those 5 people, it does not mean that I do not wish to play with a different 5 people the next day.

I have been strongly anti-faction since my very first MMORPG for this very reason. I view the entire server as my faction and wish to play with all of its members. If I join a faction I end up limiting who I meet because that is just the way it works. Sadly so many people join factions that it is hard to find people to group with. Most people either do not want a group or are already grouped with members of their faction. Getting quests done would be much easier for people like me if there were not so many factions because then there would be a lot more people shouting for help with quests on world chat.

And another bonus is that, while I had fun tonight fighting the Raged Wraith Chief, I would be quite happy never doing it again. If I were in a faction people would have helped me with it and I would be expected to help future players with it as well. It is just the way a faction works. But since I met up with 5 total strangers it is unlikely I will ever have to do it again. With the limited time I have to play I prefer not to repeat the same boss fights over again. Since I have no faction I am rarely asked to help with such things (although I do get requests from the people on my friends list).

ROFL at this quote. Most of the big Factions dont have time to help you with quests like this, or even give a dam about helping you because they dont get any xp for it. I'v helped out people in the biggest factions on my server, who couldnt find a soul in their faction to help them with a non-fb boss. Its sad to see, when a tight group of 10 people in my guild can find more time than a whole entire lvl 3 or whatever faction to help their guildmate. Dont be fooled, factions have one use - war. Anything else in this game you dont need a faction for, just make friends when your out doing a quest or something and you'll never have a problem with help again.

Yeah,I think they take us for noobs too.
I fought off one archer that was using an HP charm
for 20 minutes.
Lucky I had the beginner pack HP buffs.

Yesterday I had to fight off 2 of them and 3 pets.
I killed the 3 pets and managed to kill one of the
attackers,before the other one ran off.
Gonna run out of buffs sooner or later.

Maybe they will stop making assumptions.LOL
