I also have agreed many times in this very thread, its premise is ridiculous. Solo players are a non issue. With a possible caveat that in any online game, Outfits, guilds ETC, have been shown to increase retention though the bonds they create.
And in that regard, I think people are missing out on something that can enhance their game time.
I also have stressed, there are so many outfits and groups, that using a few of the more notorious to label all of them is wrong. Sure, finding a group in ANY game is always a trial and error proposition. But I don't think it should stop people from trying to find a group to mesh with, it does nothing but help IMO.
And all that is a FAR cry from "I'm to bad ass to be in an outfit".

I could see the retention part, but I know for me, Planetside is the best shooter option out there right now, so I'm not going anywhere. The only real chance of me leaving PS2 is EA unfucking the mess they made of BF3 and launching a new Bad Company game. or rereleasing BF2 updated to run on the Frostbite engine.
