Fire break seems to have brought out the best, and worst in people. Rare map booting, while always there, has reached new highs as players struggle to get at least one of the items thay are hunting for by the end of firebreak.

that being said, the only way to find an item is to hunt in parties of 4 or more. What's a Guardian to do? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I usually run with anyone, anytime. I prefer open rooms with strangers since my play times are eratic. And I'm pretty much pick-up and play type. I'll run into ppl and make friends. If you call, and I'm free, I'll come along. But I usually don't go calling them since I can't commit to anything for certain when making serious runs. Don't wanna make promises I can't keep, right? And I HATE waiting for ppl. And ppl waiting for me.
No offense, but I only have a few hours a day to play and can't waste it waiting for friends to finish, and for them to bring in their friends, and so on.

And for those who boot ppl from rare spawns...
PS2/PC players better NOT be pulling crap like this! (I've yet to see that happen myself, thank god).
We're already a small community. So don't make enemies with your neighbors, ya know? We're ALL end up bumping into each other eventually throughout the rest of the game.
So don't even THINK of doing it! Right?

I haven't been around long enough to have an established list of friends yet. I did run into some nice players when the Heat Wave Island spamming was going on, but haven't hooked back up with them.

I just join randoms for now. Only been kicked just twice, once after not giving the party leader 5k to stay in the room (!). Normally they let me stay because I'm the only one buffing/debuffing when the FT's usually don't.

I had a good set of guys to run with back on Dreamcast PSO and we ran pretty much every night for a while before the sad death of the DC. So if I could find something like that again that would be great. It got to the point where it wasn't to play PSO but to meet up with good friends. (*sheds tears*)

Hopefully I'll find a good group like that again, so for now I'm rolling the dice with random teams. Or soloing with my completely psychotic 410, *Twinkletank*. (yet so cute...)

Friends, rarely with random people. I hate playing in Uni 1/2, it's usually just a huge spamfest.

My partner card list is filled with liars, cowards, two-timing double crossers, and scum. I try to avoid them and instead just join random PuG's for the time being. Keeps my mind off how easy it is to sucker me into things and then screw me over...

Friends only with a few vouched for.

Currently I run only with people that i have known for months. We've become very good friends, and we know each other's real names, where we live, what we're doing in life, and how their personal lives are going.

We usually find at least a half dozen of us online any day of the week. If we don't see one or two of us then its okay we know we'll see them in a few. That is when our 2ndary friends join in for some fun&profit.

I suck, so I play by myself. There have been a few times that other's have asked me to join, and sometimes I play with my boyfriend, but usually I keep to myself and do my own thing. I feel rather insecure in random teams. I always worry that I won't be doing what others want me to properly.

Some friends, plus a random or two

That's the best way to do it. You surround yourself with people you're comfortable but also don't mind allowing a stranger or two contribute to your group.

Usually with strangers. None of my PS buddies really play anymore and the ones I do bump into suddenly don't show up online anymore after a week or so. ;_;

When FB started I did play by myself, so I would just join random parties and hope to find nice people. One fateful day I found myself at Raffon field base because I wanted to record every mission. This was when everyone was spamming Neudaiz so not many people were at Parum. It was there that I joined a party and met my soon to be group. The leader impressed me very much because he had come up with a plan on how to get S rank on Garden of Fire A. And it worked! From then on I have mainly partied with this group of people. The group already had a couple people but it has grown some, and most of us in this group party with each other because we know what items each other want and we help each other to get them. Its not an "every man for himself" group, and I really like that.

I'm sure you don't suck at all, Marshmallow http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Do whatever you want in party! The basics with support, then damage away! Besides that, everything you said pretty much echoes how I feel too. Are you on PS2/PC? If so, let's play :3! I love duoing with Fortetechers~ My BF is one as well. Heck, the four of us can run some missions, pwn.

While my partner card list is 3 pages full, I rarely party with any of them. Once in a while, they mail if they need one more person or mass mail to see if anyone wants to join, but otherwise I never see them at all. I'd like to have a small, set group to run with and hunt rares, shoot the shit and have a blast, but it's tough. Everyone has their groups and friends, and have no room for another. I'm also not interested in joining guilds because while I like the team atmosphere, I like being free. Oh well. :/

I mostly solo for rares, or play with my boyfriend as well. Once in a while, I join a few randoms if I don't feel like soloing, but it's not often.

I mostly play with my small group of very close friends whom I met on PSOBB, though I often party with other people I know from BB. Unfortunately, soloing is a chore, work makes me only able to get on at odd times, and most of my close friends are in different timezones, so I find myself in random parties all too often.

God, how I hate most random parties. While I sound like an elitist, I'm really not (well, based on equipment at least, I know most of mine blows), so I'm willing to give anyone a chance. Every now and then I meet someone who is good at the game, friendly and talkative, and mature enough to take (and give) advice in a mature fashion (one such person being the above poster). These are the people to whom I send my card, and I try to contact them for parties when I need one, since most people in random parties just make me hate PSU.

I rarely do runs these days. When I do, it's with one other person. But for FB that usually means a trip to uni 2. >_<

You roll with THOSE people? I guess I don't have to ask you whether you've been coerced or blackmailed, by the girl in the middle, in joining them. If you're rolling with them, the answer would be a resounding, Yes. I already sympathize with your ordeal. Try not to let her antics get to you, though sometimes she can be extreme.

From what I hear, she doesn't FIND the rare drops. People tell me, someone else finds the rare drops, and she does something to force 'em to give it up.

I'm a UK (360) player so if I play early the population is low and when I play late I can't talk so much and have to type....makes it feel like PSO, I guess.

I only have one 'real life' friend into this game so I do a lot of soloing or rely on people joining my party or getting random invites. You have to take the rough with the smooth and appreciate a good party when you find it!

I find I don't get booted too much because when I roll with randoms (I'm a Techer) I do a lot of support and most people appreciate this.

Most of my friends are gone and the people on my cards who still play don't recognize me since I have a weird schedule. I mostly play with random people but do try to find those I played with before to hang out with. It's a bit of a hectic job when I play as a wartecher as I try to make the most of all of my PP and such: I like to debuff up close since i have evp and HP, I run around and buff/resta/reverser too and then do some meleeing as well http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif

i play with whoever i see online on my card list when i feel like playing with people and they aren't busy...otherwise i just play solo...or if i want to play with people i go find people and play with them...

amazingly i find that most times when the quote "this party is great" comes up i'm thinking 'these people are a bunch of dipsticks that need to learn how to play" luckily when i play with people it's mainly cuz i have to, to get quicker xp, or because i'm tired of killing everythingalone

I have one friend that I party with almost daily, and we usually have one or two other friends that we find (But something always happens and we can't party with them. Such as: Their 360 breaks, or their GUARDIANS License gets suspened.) But we try to find another honest few to help us with our lvling and rare hunts.
