PvP in Windfola has become one dimensional. Most of the time there will be a fairly large number of creeps and a fairly large number of freeps all gathered together in one location facing off each other. While this is good for renown/infamy ( especially for a dps class like RK ), it gets boring extremely fast. There is no challenge in it - either you get zerged or you zerg someone that over extends.
Most of the people I started playing this game with have either left or moved on to different servers. I am looking for a small group that would prefer to play away from the main group. A preferred group size of about 3. The reason is that I want to try and split up the action a bit. 3 freeps in one location gives creeps enough incentive to push to that location ( hopefully not with the whole raid ) with a group of about 5-6. Hopefully this will lead to creeps playing in small groups as well.
I know change rarely happens and that people are usually more comfortable continuing to do what has proven successful for a significant period of time. But if anyone shares similar interests please let me know in game. On weekdays I usually play from about 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm New Zealand time ( its late in U.S by then - 12.30 AM CST ).
Disclaimer : If you group with me you will die a lot. Also English is not my first language. I won't be talking a lot unless necessary.

Good luck Small group action is win, most definitely.

I like the smaller groups:
1. You get more renown.
2. 12 creeps/freeps focus firing on 1 freep/creep is not my idea of fun.
3. I "x" up in [OOC] every night and never get invited to anything so I end up soloing anyways. /cry
Sometimes a fellow RK will duo with me but then we sometimes get zerged by 6+ creeps that we run into.
I cant have a distinct schedule due to my work, but if I'm out on Nosta or Vieta at the time you are, I'll gladly group with you. (Just know sometimes I don't trait heightened senses so I may keep my -10% bow inductions.)
Solo hunts and duos are the most fun. There is a certain constant low level adrenaline buzz to being all by yourself waaaay behind creep lines, or close to their map in points, or shadowing a raid without stealth. You just never know what is over the next hill, or if a warg is stalking you.
At the same time there is a real satisfaction to learning the habits of your prey and practicing the patience to stalk and kill them.
And there-in lies the rub, so to speak. You have to this as much for the fun of the hunt as the kill. Sadly, very, very few creeps ever go out solo. The only one I have ever seen out there regularly was Felas. It used to be I could run across a spider now and then, but those days are dwindling. Right now the problem is too many solo Freeps chasing too few solo Creeps. I run across tons of other Freeps out soloing, but the only Creeps seem to be the ones doing their maps. There is the occasional solo transit, but those are rare.
I would second (or third or fourth) the motion for more solo and duos out actively hunting each other, terrain masking, and stalking, rather than the afternoon bridge games (Poker anyone?). It is much more exhilarating than staring at each other from NPCs. When conditions permit I usually spend at least an hour by myself or duoing before I join a raid, and I see lots of other Freeps out there while I am doing it, so if you are a Creep looking for plentiful action away from the bridges come on out!
