I imagine that if I was shopping in a supermarket and randomly approached two kids, a young woman and two men of varying ages and said “Let’s all do our shopping together. It’ll be fun and we can save money on multipack deals” at best I’d likely be asked to leave the store as I was bothering other customers and at worst, the police would be called to investigate why a man in his 40s believes this is appropriate social behaviour. Odd how Bungie is trying to force this scenario in Destiny and Destiny 2.

[b]Do you want to enjoy the benefits of a clan but don't actually want to interact with anyone else? Then Axiomatica is the clan for you. (XBone)[/b] "[i]A clan for people who don't like clans...or social interaction...or people.[/i]" https://www.bungie.net/en/ClanV2?groupid=693883 About us: [spoiler]Axiomatica is a clan for people who don't like clans. We act as a single name under which players can enjoy the benefits of a clan rank and banner without ever needing to interact with anyone else. We don't have regularly scheduled meet-ups, heck we don't have meet-ups at all. We don't need or desire to run raids, or strikes, or trials together. [b]Members are expected to follow 2 simple guidelines: 1. Regularly contribute to the clan rank as much as you are able. 2. Be nice.[/b] Axiomatica's leadership reserves the right to ban any member from the clan for any reason, but as long as everyone's playing nice with each other there really should never be a problem. So come alone or bring your own group of friends. Noobs, pros, young, old, chatty, mute, purple, green, a literal cat with internet skills, we don't care. All are welcome to independently operate under the name Axiomatica. (^_^)[/spoiler] If you... [spoiler]...are shy, introverted, anti-social, or otherwise just not fond of people then this is the clan for you. ...are generally too busy to commit long stretches of time to playing with others then this is the clan for you. ...don't care about raids or trials or any other endgame activity and just like to play by yourself then this is the clan for you.[/spoiler] To be perfectly honest and upfront about things... [spoiler]Do not join Axiomatica and expect to find a group of people willing to help you through endgame activities. It's not that we're not nice people it's just that we prefer to keep to ourselves. Being a place to find a fireteam is not the purpose of this clan. [b]Axiomatica aims to be an oasis for those who don't want to be bothered by constant fireteam invites and regularly scheduled activities[/b]. Feel free to contact other members just don't be surprised if you don't get much of a response back.[/spoiler] [b]If you think Axiomatica will be a good fit for you then please click the link above and apply.[/b]

Also hate crashing into other people's parties. I feel like I'm the unwanted person. They might says it's ok, but you get the feeling they don't want you there or worse, they don't even know who you are.

Hey, im Vinny and im 33 years old. I know where your coming from and can relate. If your interested I have my own very small clan called Gunz N Order and your more than welcome to join. Im a solo player and mostly like it that way but I would like to do raids, nf and trials and would like to create a small community of like minded people. No pressure, obligations or requirements...just have fun and do what your heart desires. But if you ever want to do some end game and relax than you can utilize the clan to gather some teammates. But playing solo is still welcomed and if you dont feel like using a mic and talking that is also fine. You can have access to clan rewards and have some people to call on if your looking. Anyways just wanted to send you a welcome and if interested just check my clan out. If not its cool and happy hunting anyway. Gunz N Order (GZNO) ~Vinny

The whole playing "solo" is quickly dying out games are evolving into more socialized environment.

Am in a clan and have plenty of online friends, but most of the time I like to play solo. I like to be my own driver and I have no problem stopping what am doing to help a friend or clan mate or asking for help myself. So I do understand the mentality of playing solo **caught caught (Why rumble needs to return)

I like working with others to accomplish a goal, but sometimes I just want to be the driver without passengers.

i have 300+ friends and most of the time i like to play solo

[quote]Hi, I’m a D1 player who logged over 3000 hours. I play Crucible all the time, it’s my favorite Destiny Activity. I’m decent, not great. (I hate Rumble BTW. Ironic, I know. I actually live for being a team player) I did all the Raids, a lot. (I didn’t get Rise of Iron) I was in a very successful Clan in D1(Knights of the Phoenix) I have a lot friends on my friendlist. So why do I, and other people, prefer to play solo 90% of the time? There are several reasons, and I will try to be as concise as possible. I HAVE LIMITED TIME TO PLAY: When I get home, if I have time, I just want to jump into whatever activity I feel like playing. I don’t want to see who is online, what activity they are doing, jump into their party, ask them if they want to do what I want to do, wait in orbit, wait for two other people to join, or respond to my messages, and THEN deal with the apology messages of, sorry already full etc etc. I HAVE EMOTIONAL ANGST ABOUT THESE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS: When I ask for friends to join me who are engaged in another activity I feel like I am bothering them. Whether this is true or not, this is how it makes me feel, and I would rather not deal with it. I DON’T ALWAYS FEEL LIKE TALKING: Often times in these groups people are chatting away about their personal life, and it can be overwhelming to me. I DO enjoy talking about the game, like callouts in PvP, but usually the constant conversation about day-to-day life stresses me out and takes me out of the experience I am trying to enjoy. (I hate CO-OP in story modes, because I can’t focus on the experience AT ALL) This probably sounds funny to some people, but I bet for A LOT of solo players this is one of their main reasons for preferring the Lone-Wolf. THE STOP-START EXPERIENCE WITH GROUPS IS GRATING: Play a match. One person leaves. 5 Minutes in Orbit till someone else can join. Play a match, two people leave. Find replacements. Another 5 minutes. This tends to stress me out a lot. I don’t know if I am coming off as a whiny wuss, but I wanted to shed some light on why a lot of Guardians might prefer to play Solo. Maybe I am way off base. Comments will let me know I guess.[/quote] Wow. I had typed up something almost verbatim of what you posted, but I read yours first, and you bloody nailed it. The only thing I'll add is personal. I have crippling anxiety and paranoia (inb4 "meds and therapy!". They only do so much). So having to jump through the hoops of social interaction to find a fireteam, and then have to listen to strangers talk for however long it takes to complete something is...problematic...on a good day, and causes anxiety attacks on bad days. Do I expect Bungie to cater to my mental illness? No, absolutely not. Should they take the single player community into consideration? Yes, they really should. Other than that the OP is pretty spot on.

Dick.....fact

Need 2 for trials of the nine bounty run message rowdymc1bomb for invite :)

Dude people just bait each other in the crucible.

I just can't be arsed to chat to randoms most of the time tbh
