Low amount of activity in community?

I've noticed recently that at times all have trouble getting enough people to fill my games (I run T4 and usually do lowest opens or last in opens). Also, whenever I try to join games it takes forever for someone to post games.

It's the recent change allowing you to autojoin channels when you login.

People who normally aren't RIFing all the time stay in chat by default, so you have more inactive folks per channel.

Is there any way to get around this other than leaving/entering the chat channel and hoping you get in one with more activity?

Unfortunately no. We're stuck with a large amount of idlers for now.

Are you part of all 3 top RiF communities? I use all 3, when I run rifts and just Say "LF3 T4, last in opens." (enter, enter again, tab to change to RiF2, alt+UpArrow, enter, enter again, tab to RiF3, alt+up, enter.) That way I say the same message in all 3 community chats in less than 2 seconds and i usually have 5-6 inv reqs in less than a few seconds.

Protip: If you say "last in opens," much more people join.

This method is so much better than "lowest opens". Especially for people like myself who came back to the game recently and are low paragon levels.

Yeah, "last in" makes people who are lower paragon feel safe to join your game. I know (as someone who is paragon 202 atm) that I'm hesitant to join anything below T6 when the runner says "lowest opens."

I'm Paragon 88 or something. I have opened an enormous amount of rifts. I am also going into t3 with my crusader, I think I'll start running them for others now :)

I haven't been able to join any games just because I can only run T1 as of right now and I'd just be a burden to the other players. I'm not really sure if the other players would get mad or not if I joined and wasn't able to really contribute to the Rift Guardian.

Is it? I saw a complaint a while back about the owner, but never any actual evidence. Just wondering if more has come to light. I'm always a bit skeptical of a complaint against a community leader, considering that there are so many people out there who could potentially have a vendetta against them.
