I like my teams with a bit of strategy, too. Probably why I solo a lot. I was on a team for the Anti-Matter arc and some missions I would load in to find its done..exit now. I just dont zone or load fast enough for that play, but I also dont prefer it. I enjoy pulling. I enjoy the tactics of making sure you only aggro the group closest and not the one beside them. I dont enjoy herding or rushing. Right now I have a lvl 19 sentinel (hero) visiting Praetoria to do a bit of street sweeping. Fun and relaxing! And a nice change of scenery.
Yeah, the game is way different than before (I played 04 to 10) but go out there and enjoy it. If you end up on a team you don't care for or just dont match, kindly make your excuses and go about whatever you do enjoy. Happy hunting!
