So I have been playing Wildstar for about a month or so now, made my way to 50, reach 10/13 attuned, and even downed everything in GA besides Dreadmaw. I am on the Dominion side, and have been enjoying the game. I have noticed alot of the greater parts of the game as well! 
 
But I do find one flaw so far, even with all of the returning and new players in the game, I still see people who find themselves alone who would like to progress or even just play with other people. The guild I am in (Whoo Goes) has found something incredible, if one person decides to take the reins and try to bring people together, whether it is the LFM, zone chat, or another guildie, it becomes contageous! 
 
I know this may be common sense, but why do we not see more of this? I cannot tell you all the countless times I have made community world boss runs, R12 runs, hell even our first GA pug run! It was incredible to see how much people wanted to help when someone just spoke up and said "HEY, I want to have some fun and progress in so and so, who wants in on this!?!" 
 
Our guild only has so much room, so it worries me what will come of the other players who do not find the same blessing. I am sure there are other guilds out there with the same intent, but I have yet to really notice any other big names out there in chat demanding to help others through content. 
 
The reason I say all of this is because if we want this game to flourish, we need to give people something all of the other mmo's failed to give them, and no its not the incredible soundtrack, gameplay, or flashy mechanics. I am talking about an outstanding community where your guild or name is something that can be remembered for something really cool. I mean think about it, you log on and see some guy by the name of Baby steven (not a real person), he is always on friday nights setting up community warplots, then you have joe, who is always getting a pug raid for people who only just got attuned, sure they may not clear anything, but you know what, those people dont care, they got to get their feet wet with end game content. Or veronica, she sets up sunday night roleplaying scenes.
 
You get the idea, lets build a community that actually cares about its players.

You are hands down one of the most active people in the game, you've definitely made a name for yourself on the Dominion side. I loved last night how you totally shot down those people who tried to talk down to you about your PUG GA.
 
OTG does have World Boss Wednesdays, tho we don't advertise it as "OTG's" or anything like that. But we generally try to take a couple of them out at least. I know we have other stuff in the works soon that will hopefully get some interest from others as well, but that isn't ready to be revealed just yet!

Thanks for the support Mae Is Mean, I honestly see right through anyone if they just want to be negative, I guess they are scared of letting some of our more casual players into end game content. But lets think about this, just how much better are the "hardcore" players? Not by a whole lot, they just made the extra time in their day to get to where they are. The main issue of how this game fell apart during its launch was because of the attunement at the time, none of the "hardcore" guys had the time to sit back when they weren't raiding and try to explain the fights or help them. I may be wrong, but honestly we can always start now. I just hope to see more people on both Dominion and exile side try this out.
 
 
I certainly look forward to what OTG has in the making as well! I have seen you guys around and always think to myself, "man, I would love to get to that point."

			I completely agree with this, and slowly I personally am trying to build the community up through in game events, its not the solution but i do believe if successful can be a driving point in the game, I am not limiting this to the Dominion side on entity but it is where i am starting.

			generally hard to build a community. sure its nice when people organize stuff and it definitely is effective. this can easily be seen in pug ga nights, world pvp events even the upcoming 1v1 dueling event. however setting up these events and making it consistent like a community pug ga run or world boss run is taxing on the organizer or group organizing. a lot of people see these as opportunities to help themselves and while that is the point (to help others) it can only really continue if those same people give back or help it to continue on. while a game doesnt need all these fancy features to be good these features allow for these communities to be made and more easily maintained. i dont mean to be a debbie downer but what you are suggesting is a just wishful thinking that has been tried in literally every game that can support a community since the dawn of time. ill help and i want something like this to succeed but it being the thing that sets W* apart from another game is a long shot.

			One step at a time my friend, that is how. :) People realize how close this wonderful game has come to its end, so we will try everything we can on the players side of things to ensure it doesnt get to the dark days again.

			Despite that, when has that not been an issue? If you would like to do something about it, nothing is stopping you, in the meantime, I will still be enjoying the game and giving new players a reason to stay, I would much rather do that than allow that sort of thought process to enter my head. You must be aurin. :P

But why not? We're clearly the master race!

			All jokes aside, lets get this topic back on track, exiles are welcome to make suggestions as well, I honestly beleive a community that tries to stay in contact with you is a healthy one. And I am aware of all of the negative that is there, but I certainly do not have a blind eye to it. We are all smart enough as we are mature enough to understand that it is in fact just a game, its a matter of puting the decision of staying with this game that we want. We want to all feel just as important as the last hero to step on nexus.

you guys are EVIL and not to be trusted. No, really its true.
there are two factions of Aurins on Nexus now who have broken away from the Exiles and are doing their own thing. Their own thing involves attempting to terraform an entire eco system to suit themselves (Deradune) and terrorism ( Malgrave). They indiscriminately kill Exiles and Dominion, Queen Myala clearly has no authority or control over her own people and the Aurin are just hanging around Thayd waiting to enact there evil master plan and kill us all in our sleep.
 
 :D
