That's what I've been doing for a while. Got bored pretty quick. I couldn't defend a keep or take a keep if no one else would go there. And groups would rather go have a big fight in the field sometimes.. You know, like those guys who would fight on the roads in Arathi Basin in WoW lol.
The thing is, that solo you can't really affect the map and contribute to win a campaign. I was grabbing resources solo for a while, would find pvp that way sometimes. But you know, some players want to run in a bigger group so they can make difference. Or get more AP or get emp. All I'm saying, in my experience it was almost impossible to find a group in DC.
And whoever said I think wrong. Uhm, no, I can't think wrong. I also know from experience that players want to join established group that are somehow ALREADY big when they join xD
And no, it's not about making mistakes. It's about not being able to even start a group consistently in the first place.

Do you lead groups at the moment? - either PUG or Guild...

No, I haven't PvPed after TG release. Running solo got boring real quick, following a bigger group that wouldn't invite you anyway wasn't that fun too. You never know where they teleport next. I think I'll give it another shot soon and try to find more friends in /z to run with
There's a lot of unpolished jewels to be found in zone chat. I still have members in VE I pulled out of zone chat who stayed with and became pillars of the guild.
It's hard work but someone has to do it. Than you improve and slow recruiting/pug herding, and someone else raises the banner.
It just sounds like that cycle has stopped altogether on AD

Like I said earlier, every time I have openings in group, I type a message in zone saying there is a PVP guild group and to join you must have TS. What ends up happening is none of the pugs want to join because they dont want to use TS. Not my problem If people refuse to use TS, you cannot PVP competitively without it so there is no way I am inviting people who dont have it.
I still try and pick up from zone from time to time but it is hard to when they are unwilling to use TS.

You are being foolish if you are insisting on TS for PUGs. For the most part the people who want to use teamspeak are already in a non-PUG that is using it. PUGs will effectively defend your territory and add numbers to offensive sieges once they start without TS...it is literally an unnecessary distraction and CPU drain.

No I'm not, I'm not part a PUG guild, I'm part of an organized competitive PVP guild. I'm not gonna sacrifice the competitiveness of my group just because people cant download TS. It really isn't that difficult. TS is the way that the leader gives orders and if you aren't listening to orders in TS, then you cannot be part of the group. Any competitive PVP guild here will say the same things I am saying.
People complain about not being able to find a good PVP guild and then when the good PVP guilds ask for TS, they ignore it lol.

In that case I recommend that you not try to tell people who do lead groups regularly what it is and isn't about OR how it should or shouldn't be done. Until you have experienced what it is to lead on the regular, you really have no idea.
If you are AD and need a guild/group to PVP with, contact me in-game and I'll sort ya out.

I'm curious, how many competitive guilds do you think AD has?

As a yeller, the consistently active AD guilds I know of that would fit the bill are:
Arcane Council (Haderus mostly)
Dominant Dominion (Had mostly? Seen on TF last two times I've run groups tho)
Fantasia (rehomed Trueflame as of last night)
Vexed (Had?)
and then there are a few guilds I am unfortunately ignorant regarding the name/location/structure thereof, but I will list at them here because safety first: Frogblast and the Tadpole Cannons (TF), Fat Grim Reaper's Dream of the Deep Fried Scythe (TF?), High Latency (TF Oceanic time?), Telel's Famous Traveling Wolf-em-Up Jazz Band (Had?), Durruthy's Grrrroup (TF?), and I believe Unexpected Allies is the only group I've seen picking people up from zone (TF). Yellow has.... A lot of people on Haderus, but it's mostly a "yolo in numbers" scene.
i'd say it's about the same on EP side, i usually run in small group with my buddies, we're a small guild of decent players like blade spirit, ishkashi, etc, who get emp often. When they are not online i end up playin solo, no one ever inv , it's all we're a closed guild serious bizzness BS, i don't even bother anymore, just doin my stuff solo, no guild recruiting anymore, they just all dying slowly, same with every faction, not taking in new blood and losing old timers with no one to replace them

VD does not chain react. So...yeah. Pugs not your problem. Problem may exist between chair and keyboard.

So we ran a small guild group on Wednesday Night (Oceanic)..... we opened the group to zone once we had 4-5 guildies.
I ended getting 6-7 peeps from Zone, most of whom jumped in TS and stayed with the group. There were a few squirrel moments, but nothing too major.... we even sieged a keep!!!! - with actual siege.
We got wiped and did some wiping, a good time was had all around.... believe it or not, we even made a little AP..
Best of all we got a new friend and guildy from the exercise.
Anyone else gonna take the PUG bullet for the Dominion???

By competitive, I assume you mean Guilds in line with VE, Hax, KHole etc.... Rage is gone, Vic is basically gone.... some of the Had guilds are popping up in TF to get away from the AD hoard there, but it's pretty grim tbh.
Even the once thriving Oceanic time slot is pretty sparse.... it's either you have a medium sized group, but there are no groups to fight OR you have a small group and get zerged the *&^% down! Basically Zerg or be Zerged which is sad.

You assumed correctly. And yeah, Rage leaving to BDO was a killer in that department.
