Random squads not trust-worthy anymore?

I think that last thing where the random squads are just not worth the time to waste, even as an OP veno where you're better off soloing instances (which is as 5 times easier to do and not difficult) than to have someone try to be the hero. At least venoes easily avoid squad wipes NP, but pet maybe sacrificed, I think mystic can escape really easily too, have to time 8 seconds ahead of wipe of town portal.

And last time I was on veno and escaped like 12 party wipes on a single run b:laugh , really. The sin/bm was tank (LOL tanking as a sin HAHAHA) failed at tanking and gave cleric/mystic heart attacks from not being able to recover MP as fast.

I think I rather wait for friends or faction members to team up for things. Do you guys squad with randoms anymore? I know I barely do b:laugh
I, II and III spark is the most cheesiest skill in PWI and it should be removed or massively nerfed.

    Probably still more trust-worthy than your 0fps slideshow soloing.

    It can go badly... and I prefer to be with people I know. But fail squads can be kind of fun, too. Especially when everyone is bickering! One thing I've noticed some strangers doing lately, though, is making a squad and setting the drops to be distributed "freely" without saying so. Then they grab the drops and get them all. >.>

    I squad with my boyfriend, and he knows more about the game and what to look for in squads than I do. (Besides, I'm not very social, and I don't like going around and tossing squad invites in all directions.)

    It tells you the item distribution on the "accept squad invite" window.

    Once in a while you can get a good random squad... but ONLY once in a while nowadays.
    I got invited randomly to squad at Broken Bow. The squad must have been nearly done with their quests there and I had just started. They invited me and I killed my first couple of mobs... must have been their last, because they then disbanded and left the area. At least, I think they left the area... I was so dumbfounded by their actions, I didn't even bother to look.

    I don't random squad anymore.
    There's no such thing as a "Perfect World" full of Jade, diamonds, gold, and other riches and treasures. There is only an imperfect world, with an imperfect society, full of imperfect people, with imperfect idea's about how to be perfectly rich and perfectly perfect. No one cares about being perfectly kind, perfectly fair, or perfectly content.
    It's a perfectly sad world.

    I very rarely have issues with random squads. That's pretty much all I rely on these days lol. Guess I'm just lucky.

    There must be some kind of way out of here,
    Said the joker to the thief,
    There's too much confusion,
    I can't get no relief...

    This makes.....how many useless posts/threads by Yulk?

    I have to wonder if any of our player mods have had their brain capacity reduced by modship, or they've just forgotten....but Yulk's still here......and needs a good whacking with a banhammer.

    Or is Frankie keeping him as a pet? b:puzzled
    Might want to consider a muzzle, Frankie.....for real.

    Me and my soulmate duo our instances. Randoms no thanks >> we've both had our share of being burned by randoms.

    I BH with randoms a lot, and I've had a lot more decent random squads than fail ones (10:1 sounds about right). People just remember the fail randoms more, because those are the instances when everything goes wrong.

    As a cleric, fail squads are a challenge... makes it interesting. b:victory

    "random squads" for the most part (especially on lost city) haven't been 'trustworthy' or much capable of anything from what i've seen (and for quite some time)... but mostly comes from people's selfishness or being too worried about they'll get ripped off so they take off with all the loot... or simply not being proficient at their class.

    but there's been at least a few times that a "random" (to me) squad was actually pretty good at their classes and roles, and the loot got split as fairly as possible. several of those folks ended up on my friend list and i'd squad with 'em again. so in my experience, most of the time a "random" squad is a bad idea, but sometimes you can find good players by joining them too, and make good friends in the process.
    i'm pro all classes, and against none in particular..
    but the age old QQ about venos is just that. OLD.
    QQ'd about a nix lately? check out this thread n tell me who's "OP" lol..
