Squad formation Psychology (problem) [?]


This is something I have noticed, maybe you'all haven't, and maybe you don't see it as one but I have been thinking about it.

I am not in an outfit but I do play with a particular outfit quite often, and I really enjoy it, but i'm not crazy about joining outfits. At the same time I understand the teamplay element of this game and what it does for the enjoyableness of it. What I don't understand is why you need to, 'invite to form squad', rather than simply create a 1 person squad which has your squad name as your objective, which would then attract other people who might want to get on board with that idea and roll with you for a little while to join.

IMO, it is very difficult for you to /invite someone who doesn't know you, and I would even go as far as to say psychologically isin't about to bend the knee to some stranger that just /invited them to join up with what his unknown objectives. I don't always want to do what the outfits are doing, and unfortunately my only alternative is to play solo, becuase no one ive asked wants to join my squad and, I duno, galaxy drop or take some outlieing bases, whatever.

I really think 1person squad formation would help a bit for people like me who would like to do a few objectives with like minded people who aren't always playing with an outfit or don't always want to play with an outfit. IMO it seems silly not to have this option. Not a perfect solution but 'invite to form squad' seems to be a big problem. Im in a hurry so this isin't as well articulated as ide like it to be. Thoughts?
