When putting together random groups of people, you invariably find that a large percentage of them don't gel with you or your play-style. Because of this, the feedback and involvement you get from players tends to be negative and low, respectively. That sort of environment wears at a person.In fact, I'm even finding these types of games to be unsatisfying as a player. Roleplaying in an LFR group, for instance, is generally unheard of and there is no continuity as far as party make-up is concerned. As a player I can't go for too long at a table that is only a glorified skirmish game. If that's what I wanted, I'd go play Warhammer.Point being is that I think it depends highly on the group. In a good group with people who are interested and involved in the story and campaign and who you share a play-style with, then I get far more out of the game as either a player or DM than I do in random, hodge-podge groups.I'd just like to point out that this is an item from Cyberpunk. The future is NOW people!</blockquote>
