Confusion with Orgs in SC
So I will start out by saying, I know that this is likely a me issue, but Im not sure where else to ask, so here we are. Sorry for the book I wrote.
I joined an Org a few months back that claimed to be tight knit group, active discord, lots of events etc. I guess this might be my first misunderstanding, to me, events would be organized weekly get togethers everyone signs up for, sort of like a raiding guild in WoW, we raid Tuesday and Thursday at 9pm every week. Instead, this first guild had exactly 0 events planned for entire month.
OK, fine, no events, so Ill find some pickup groups. Oddly enough, they have 50 discord channels, but none to get a group. When I ask, Im told "just sit in voicechat". Huh? This seems so odd to me. I would expect to find a group in discord, find people wanting to do things I want to do, then join voicechat once we have a group. Worse yet, they have voicechats with 2-10 people already in them. Do I join and essentially beg to join them, or worse yet, beg to have them do what I want?
I felt like I didn't really belong, and along with my computer simply not playing SC very well, I just decided to go back to solo'ing. Recently, I bought a brand new computer and it plays SC well for once, so I joined a new org. This Org seems to be setup in the exact same fashion. I have been in for a few weeks, there was 2 "events", one was middle of day and I have no access to even join if I wanted too, and another was something about naming a dog. That is the only events shown for my entire time. Again, no looking group channel. When I asked if anyone wanted to do a CZ in org chat, was told "sit in voicechat".
Maybe this is just normal for SC, or even guilds/orgs nowadays, but it seems so odd to me from what I am use too. Ive played plenty of games, and anything else, we tended to chat first, find a group, then get in voicechat once the group was figured out. This sit in voicechat 24/7 is just not something I am entirely comfortable with, I don't know anyone for 1, and for 2, I feel like Im essentially begging strangers for help. It feels easier to just ask in chat or reddit for a group, then get in voicechat.
Again, I figure I am likely the problem here, everyone else seems to have no issues, so I guess its just me? Or, is this just a SC thing? Dont get me wrong, Ive been in guilds that we just bs'ed in voicechat, thats not my problem, its the find your group through voicechat.
