BTW, I'm on the Ebon Hawk server. I have two characters, a republic trooper and a sith warrior. Does anyone want to play with me? I'd love to do some flashpoints eventually. My trooper is only level 12. My sith is level 3 or something. PVP is definitely not my thing. PM me if you'd like to play with me or invite me to your guild. Oh, OP, I disagree with you. I think most people like to group. It's just hard to find a group who wants you. Depending on the AC you went with on the Trooper, spec yourself as either a tank or a healer, say something in General chat like "Healer (or tank) lfg..." and you'll probably get invited. Healing in this game is totally easy mode, and Vanguards are great tanks, so you shouldn't have too much difficulty with either of them. If you want to be dps, you can still try to ask people in Fleet General chat for a group, or you can try to find a guild that does flashpoint runs.

Social points allow you to advance your social levels. Some of the nicer clothing items require higher social levels to wear. Flashpoints are a great way to both gain social points and meet some of the other fun people playing the game. ~Lavander~ Recruitment Officer Daughters of the Force

You got people who hate grouping that are doing things they normally would not do to get Social pts. That means they are behaving in a fake way in the game and not being true to themselves Bioware,..is this what you want? You want people to pretend to be Social? That's what it looks like to me Goodluck with your pathetic attempt at Socializing mmo's...it's not gonna work The only reason or benefit to get social points is social armor. Which is orange light armor that ... is basically intended to be worn in social settings. It provides no other benefits, especially if you are not a light armor class. By all means play the game how you want. However, there are those of us who enjoy grouping and we don't exactly like to be moved into non-existance. If anyone is "forced" to group, then clearly Bioware failed a bit in their "you shouldn't require a group for everything" approach...but some of this can be chalked up to bad play styles or underleveling.

The most memorable moments I've had in this game (and any game, for that matter) was when playing with others. It's hard to beat the fun factor when you play with a fun group of players.

You got people who hate grouping that are doing things they normally would not do to get Social pts. That means they are behaving in a fake way in the game and not being true to themselves Your first statement is a fallacy. You =/= the majority. You have no evidence that "most players solo", and what evidence we do have points to exactly the opposite... that most people play in groups. Regardless of any of the above, the reason it is in the game is for people that like to group. If you don't like to group, then don't do it. Social points are a reward/incentive for people that like grouping.

The Lord said: "QQ enough and thou shall receive it." The followers said: "I shall QQ my lord, i shall QQ." And since then , not a single day passed without the QQs being heard.
