I'm too much of a team player.

I rely almost entirely on others to have my own fun.

I have to play with people.  If I don't, I don't have fun.  I prefer to play with others that I know in small groups. The old days of of 5v5 or 8v8 competitive play was perfect for me.  When I have 3 or 4 other people with me I find myself very excited and performing at my best.  My strength is being with other people.

I'm a good healer.  I'm a focused tank.  I'm passable DPS.  I'm an excellent support player.  I'm a mediocre shot.  I'm a fairly capable strategist.  I'm a quick thinker.  I bring all of these assets to the people that I play with.  I am at my absolute best with others.  When I play with others I attempt to make up for what they lack.  If someone is a tank, I'll heal.  If someone is going to be a support class, I'll be a badass and take down as many people as I can.  I always try to round out the group to give us the best chance to finish our objective.  That means: I like to win.

In any team activity the final objective is victory.  I want to celebrate with others, too.  Completing an instance. Winning a battleground.  Owning some fools in CTF.  It's a rush, it's fun.  It is amplified when I have other people to share success with.  Even when we lose, it provides motivation.  I don't want to lose, then other people don't want to lose.  BOOM!  Now you have the motivation to not let others around you down.  It doesn't always have to go swimmingly, but it's nice when it does.

I don't always have to lead a team, but I find that a group of people dedicated to one particular strategy and willing to take orders works best.  I don't mind making tough calls or executing quickly in a tight spot.  Making decisions on what to do or where to go, I suck at.  Asking me to pick a map or decide where to go is bad.  Allowing me to take control and call the shots once we get there is a win.  Not always an actual win, but I always do my best to manage the people I have to get the job done... or as close to done as I can.

I wish I had more people to play with these days, because I seem to be running incredibly short or enjoyment.  Maybe it is because I am too picky or because I can't get everyone together on the same page.  I miss the old days of having people available all the time and everyone enjoying the company of each other.  I don't know what it is or how to fix it, but I sure do miss playing with other people.  I kind of think that if I can find more people to play with that I might just give up the hobby entirely.
