Cliques are normal, especially among older players. We have a tendency to understand the circumstances of unexpected or prolonged AFK due to family, work, or a variety of other things. We play when we have time to play and enjoy playing with people of likeness to us.

and thank you trelian for the help.. |
I am slightly offended, because I think it is asinine to try and tell other people what warrants and doesn't warrant a prolonged AFK/AWAY status. There are all sorts of reasons one would need to step away from the computer, especially for those who have spouses and children.
It is opinions like these that the cause a majority of older family-orientated players to form cliques and groups. Flexibility is key to someone who doesn't have a lot of time.
