Anyone else annoyed by crowded planets?

The problem isn't with how many individual players are competing for mobs; it's with how many separate groups are competing for those mobs. Everyone is flying solo, and so every single person in the area is grabbing their own mob. Mobs run out fast with that strategy.

If you see someone on the same quest as you, try grouping with them. I guarantee you you'll have an easier time finding mobs to kill when you're working with the rest of the players in your area, instead of against them.

-Macheath.

I honestly have mixed feelings about the higher populations. On the one hand, it's awesome to just wander into a heroic area and find half a dozen people already there already doing the quest. You don't have to formally group with them, you just jump in and start taking down champions and elites. That's nice. Having other people around who will jump in if you've bitten off more than you can chew in a fight is nice too and I try to return the favor.

On the other hand the chat on the starter planets is just a cesspool. It's awful. It's beyond awful. Every time I've tried to roll a new toon I end up giving up because the chat is ALWAYS a fight about politics and/or religion. When it's not, it's a talk about bacon or explicit talk about how they want to have sex with the various NPC. It is by far the worst I've seen. It's awful.

Fortunately, this filters out by the time you get to 20-25. Apparently no one is sticking around that long.

Please decide already.... What's the problem? Crowded planets or not enough population?

Nope.Doesnt bother me one bit.

It would solve a lot of problem if quest item / mob changes spawn rate base on number of players in the area.

It was painful try to do the last named npc in bonus quests in beta and sometimes people run in and steal it while I and rest of 3 players have waited for 5+ min. I can't remember how many time I wrote the ticket, the spawn rate remain the same but named npc of bonus quests finally changed to be activated for low level planets.

I love a good healthy population. And there is no reason to compete over "ckickies" you group up and everyone gets clickies.

Just another "stupid MMO has too many people playing I want single player" post.

I hate it when an MMO has other players in it.

heh the server im on isnt packed at all. the only thing i hate are rude *** jerks that try and kill steal or they will run up while you are killing a mob an take the mission item/crafting materials that is behind the mob that im trying to get to. that pisses me off more than anything!! makes me wish we could attack our own side sometimes!!! and it usually happens when i haven't seen anyone around me all dam day then all of a sudden this guy pops up and takes the stuff i was working on getting to then pops away

They're enjoying themselves. Why does it matter their reason? How does it hurt you? If you don't like playing with or around other people, go find a single-player game. Skyrim is a good one.
