Personally I can't stand having to group, I totally get the Clan v Clan or Team v Team thing and respect that type of play. But team v pug group should never be. How hard would it be to make a Team V Team and a solo v solo modes? I have only been playing for about 3 weeks but have been moved up to a point to where if I don't group then it's a face roll about 1/2 the time, that's not gaming that feeding players that are so inept they can't play without being on a team.
before I use to get about 2k kills a week finish 2nd every week and may of faced a team about 2 to three times a day, now over 50% of the time it Pug v Team which had gotten me far fewer kills 4 to 8 as opposed to 8 to 16+ getting about 17k to 19k points every round now I'm lucky to get 9k in points all because this game wants me to team up. .
Playing on a team is easy, anyone can do well on a team, playing on a team doesn't teach you how to play well it just means you're too weak to play solo.
