My experience has run full spectrum. Some of my best
friends on Rodcet Nife are from pickup groups...one
guy I am grouping with now (mid 30s) I first met in
Crushbone at 7th lvl and haven't seen him since until
this week.
On the other hand, I've seen some really bad things
too. I won't bore anyone with more horror stories, my
rule of thumb though, is that if I get a bad feeling
about a group or if they don't work well together, I
excuse myself and move on.
