There's plenty of people on here sharing your view so I suggest you try filtering those out.
If this is true, why do they not respond? And how do I filter those people out if I can't find them to start with? I'm not going to invest like 100+ hours into a game again only to find that we're the only ones who enjoy having "adventuring parties" thus resluting in us game hopping again.
Again sorry to sound critical but we tried ALOT of other ones too (FlyFF, PWI, ROSE Online, Rappelz, WoKF, KO, MS, RoM, Atlantica, Lunia and ALOT more) and every single one of those we posted on their forums too, and every single one of them said what you said. We found ONE person on FlyFF (we still have it installed as a backup since it was the only one we've found someone on)
So, I'm reluctant to believe you until I get replies stating otherwise. (people stating they have the same mindframe as us and will back it up with action by partying with us (NOT only partying with us when we get to higher levels but instead doing it straight from the start))
