I wonder the same thing all the time because when I played TFC, that's all I did. I love playing in pubs, I only really play competitively because there's not a big pub scene. If we had a successful pub community like when :e0: was still around, I think we'd have a lot more player retention, and that would lead to more people playing pickups as well.

Right now everyone who is new to the game or genre thinks even pub games are daunting at times. Imagine how they would feel if they joined a pickup and played with a bunch of TF vets... Hell, I've been playing for a long time and I still feel puny compared to some of the FF greats.
