Now it is quite possible that I have misinterpreted how synergy and finesse are going to work, but I would like some input here. So Synergy is when members of a team use their abilities together to make better abilities. As I said, I could probably just be worrying, but I see some problems with that, mainly group cooperation, timing and group member's classes. I understand how if all team members are full of spirit and cooperation they can get through a dungeon, but say it's late and you want to get a PuG group to do a dungeon with? What if your guild members turn out to be idiots? What if Billy the Sorcerer had a bad day and wants to wipe someone? I now present you with three plausible and poorly scripted scenarios we could encounter down the road.

Cooperation difficulties:

Tim: Billy! Cast a fireball and I will use my magical elf powers to turn it into a giant fireball of torment and destruction!

Billy: *Crying uncontrollably* If you wanted me to help you with synergy, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE NINJA'D MY STAFF.

Timing:

Tim: Billy! Cast a healing spell and I will use my magical elf powers to turn it into a giant heal of rejuvenation and splendor!

Billy: Hold on man! I got the KFC guy at the door!

Tim: Stendarr's Mercy, Billy! *Stab* AAAAGH, my guts! My guts all over the floor! Look at all the blood! *Stab* Billy! BILLY! It's everywhere Billy! Heal me Billy! *stab*


Class Elitism:

Tim: Billy! Are you ready to delve deep into ancient Dwemer ruins and retrieve artifacts of untold power!

Billy: Sorry man, I just recruited Jerry the Nightblade so we can make our enemies suffer unimaginable pain with synergy powers. They work better with Sorcerers than Dragonknights do.

Tim: B-bu-but... Billy...

Jerry: Don't make this awkward, bro.




So am I crazy or not? Thoughts?

I don't think that they will be required. They will be nice in certain situations but I don't think it will be such a big difference that you can't do it without synergizing with other members.

-PUG at your own perril. It is dangerous.
-If your guild turns out to be idiotic, join a better one.
-The thing with the wipe happens when you either PUG or play with idiots, so I advise you to do my earlier 2 points.

Just find a good guild, that you are comfortable with, and these things rarely happen.
