Whats wrong with partying?

For some reason no one wants me in their party. I don't do anything bad to them but like 10 minutes into partying I usually am banned from it.
Also he party system has something wrong with it. When I do an auto match, it will tell me it failed, even though there's like 3 pages of open parties.
To you dam people: don't leave your dam party up in party match if you are going to deny ppl from joining or if you are going to ban people. It wastes my time. I think this is the reason why auto match always fails.
And then there is those idiots that can't stand being in a party with less than 4 people for more than 5 seconds; when someone disconnects they immediatly leave in droves and my party becomes dismissed. All they have to do is wait a few minutes, I always re-form the party when someone leaves or disconnects.

Sorry, this is another rant, but I just had to let it out.

I believe the automatch only searches the page you are currently on try moving to page 2 , 3 etc and retrying - usually works for me if not pm me or __Loki__ we usually have long-standing parties with permenant 4 members

Ok, that would be great if I can join your parties, because I stay on for long periods of time (afk a lot) and very rarely get disconnected.

I never bot. And if I join new party, most of them will ban me. Just right now I got banned from 5 parties in 30 minutes.
I will party with friends and have no trouble there, but they aren't always online or their parties are full. So I have to go to party match.

Your right it isnt a massive problem. However , when you only have a limited time to play and have gold time to use or a quest you want to finish, the last thing you want to do is to to spend every 10 mins looking for a new party. This problem comes and goes - at times i have spent whole days in the same party and on others have gone through 10+ parties within an hour. If there are no union/guild members on when you choose to play, then getting a stable party can be a real issue. It is just one less thing to have to worry about when grinding / farming etc.

For some reason the same thing happens to me aswell, I join a party and the leader just kicks me out for no apparent reason. Ok fine I might not be over lvl 50 but so what? They still get the extra xp.

Alls you have to do is explain you are busy grinding / farming / chatting to guild or union and anyone who want s to chat will leave anyway - no need to kick anyone from a party.

I get the same problem on venice and on Rome...really pisses me off. Especially when booted for no reason...and been denied =/
I dont like starting my own party because i get into grind mode and dont watch the party to see who's left and if i need to reform...making a party is my last resort

He's talking about XP distribution parties so your level doesn't matter.

When I'm party leader I'll never kick someone unless.....
They start talking in party, if theres one thing I really hate it's seeing bloody green text fill up my damn chat window. You start the bloody talk, your going to walk.

I'm one of those ppl that will deny or kick you from my party. But i have my reasons. Guild, union members, and friends get first dibs on party positions. In that order.
So, if I have a party on party match and you get denied, that's because i'm waiting on someone i know to join.
If i have a full party and a union member or friend needs a party then i'll gladly kick a stranger for that reason.
It may be a little rude to kick without explanation, but...oh well, i'm just rude.
Other instances are if we're hunting/trading/thiefing and we leave the party up for others to join. I'll never let anyone outside of my union and friends join job parties under any circumstances. Gotta watch out for those spies.

BTW, Automatch only matches for one page. Go to the second page and automatch. Always.

Just make your own party. I've had problems in the past too, I just keep on getting banned/denied for parties.

^^It's hard to keep a stable party. Like I mention, there are many people that can't stand being in a partial party...they can't wait a few minutes for the distribution party to fill up with 4 so they just leave if they see it like that and the party gets dismissed. I mention that already.

I understand that friends and guild members should get first dibb. But don't waste other's people time by having them practically fill in for you empty spots and then boot them out when you don't need them anymore. It makes us feel used.

lol
And by the way, SpiritBotter, I'm referring to distribution parties.

i'd think most ppl do this cuz most ppl have pt's in guild or union so theyre saving that spot or something like that. otherwise who'd be that stupid..? >.>

Well, the only wrong thing about partying is that the drinking can get out of hand at times.
If you do not drink too much, partying can be very enjoyable, but if you drink too much, it will soon become a ruined evening.
