The perks are all pro-rated in cost by how much play time you have on the account and last until that time runs out. If you chug three kronos and go to perk up you have to pay for that time all at once.

Sure there are always a few dummies (like me!). But this goes way beyond that.
I had a 5 min arguement with a dude over Origin. He kept insisting that he had to die so he could go back to town. I said, why don't you just Origin (he was like level 7). "I don't have that spell yet." No, no, it's an ability you get not a spell you have to buy. "I said I don't have that spell yet." Five fucking mins of this, back and forth.
I would have had better luck talking to the wall.

Ya but the extra plat and exp works on TLP's? 10% more plat and 5% extra exp seems pretty damn good for just 3$ a month.

It works on TLPs and the 5% is multiplicative while other bonuses are additive so it's just a little bit sweeter.
Yeah I'm maining Wizard again but didn't want to be at the mercy of /LFG so boxing an ENC with it, you wan't the chanter, gotta take the Wiz that comes along with it.
Most PuGs have been decent although already getting tired of all the SK/Shm duo's that invite another healer so they can park the shaman on it's fat ass and do fuck all with it while some other healer does the work, they don't even cast malo on the pet.

Not for me, just simply use gate as a self evac. Shitty group in UR MR wiped like 6 times. Just gated out to bind point right at the zone in each time
It was surprised that this junk group did not fall apart after a few wipes, got better after 4 levels

They warmed up and started hitting their stride.

Does that apply to the free 500 SC / 3x pots you can claim on a month's sub? Cause I'll pop a second krono right now if it'll get me another trio of pots. I assume it'll also extend/charge me for another month of the perk.

100% true. Most of the time I pull to ensure that the group keeps humming along without issue. Almost every time I let someone else take over, things go south quick, usually from
Sometimes I luck out and group with a competent puller, like
Daidraco
In static this time around.

You can only claim once a month no matter how far ahead you are. In my experience it's the correct move in almost every situation to take the pots. Even if you don't think you need more you'll probably need more.

Yeah definitely. I gave myself a 5000 SC budget for server launch, plus the 3x pot reward, plus a couple more pots from /claim, and still ran out of SC by 50. Went hard with buff pots too though. I'll have to raise the budget, lul.

There are a lot of good players on teek, and they have statics/premades or just box their own shit. When you pug, you are scraping the selection bias of whats left. So your good players in the pug pool either dont have reliable playtime/availability and thats why theyre there, so you deal with them leaving awkwardly. Or theyre antisocial curmudgeons, so you have to deal with their shit (or total awkward silence) to have them. Or you get lucky and get a winner who dc'd or had rl and now they missed their group and are catching up - but if theyrea winner, theyll get scooped up and not be pugging forever.
As these tlps progress the problem will just exacerbate. People will find routines and develop habits unless theyre super unreliable with playtimes, leaving even more of a selection bias of only random afk or droppers andor shitstains in the lfg pool.
This will be even further true depending on timezones. My pugs at asian prime time were fine, I assume because of time. If these people I pugged with during my short stint had more playtime or were playing at "normal" times, they'd have been scooped up into a real stable group or even static.
If you are playing for a decent stretch during prime time, you need to get a static or at least part of one in place. If you play odd hours but consistently and for a decent time chunk, definitely try to find people. If you have reliable playtime and nobody will do a static with you... consider becoming a better person or player, sorry...
