I'm not gonna lie, every time I've tried to play this game, it's like pulling teeth trying to get people to group up for anything, so it's left me quite a bit salty about the entire experience. I'd like to join a guild, and get back into the game, but I don't want to bother if no one is going to want to group up for questing and delving and dungeon crawling in an MMO.

I haven't played ESO in a long while because, even after having joined several guilds, I can't seem to find anyone that actually wants to group up for anything. They'd rather do it by themselves. This is an MMO, people.. I see thousands of people running around all over this game, 98% of them all by themselves.. I mean, I can do that in games purpose made for single player that have far experiences tailored to that in every way, shape and form.

I see hundreds of threads here with people looking to group with others, and absolutely no replies to them, despite hundreds or even thousands of views. I see clans absolutely full of people all playing by themselves. That's not a good look for this community. Grouping is not incentivized enough, and/or people are just completely toxic and antisocial. I would LOVE to enjoy this game with other people throughout the entire experience, not just the end-game, but that doesn't seem possible with this community. No one wants to group for quests, for delves or dungeons.

Back in the day when I played WoW, we grouped up for everything, and played through all of the content together because that was the point. In Destiny 2, people group up for almost everything. It's incentivized beyond anything else. Even in near dead games like Division 2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint, with just a couple thousand people on at any given time, it is far easier to group up for random content than it is in this game, a full blown MMO with, from every time I've played, many, many, many thousands of people playing.

Why pay a subscription and buy expansions to play an online game purpose built for multiplayer, with subpar graphics and combat as compared to most modern single player games, when I can just go play single player games and get the same experience? Pointless..

So, my question is, if I were to get back into this game, do you honestly think anything would be different from my previous experiences with it? Do people in your guild group up for questing, delves, things like that? You know, get on voice chat, or even just text chat and be sociable and have fun while questing? Because that's my previous experiences with other multiplayer games, but this game doesn't seem to pull that out of its player base for some reason.

Thanks
