All of this AND I have a girlfriend and kid that takes priority to a videogame. I may have 4 hours to dedicate to playing videogames, but that 4 hours is also dedicated to being a good parent and boyfriend. I had to back out leaving my random fireteam down a guardian just last night because my 2 year old woke up crying/scared in the middle of a strike. Sorry guys, but that comes first. Usually my time to play comes after everyone has gone to bed so chatting, even if I wanted to has to be kept kinda quiet. My girlfriend is a light sleeper so I have to play with headphones so she can sleep. Makes it difficult to be chatty when I play. I'd love to be a part of a group, make some new friends and all, but for these reasons, and OPs I just stick to goin alone. Until I can find a group that doesn't mind me backing out randomly, or at least going afk for periods of time, and isn't going to put the requirements of a mic on everything, I'll still to doing what I love on my own.
