How to do it right

I spent one hour spamming to join and was ejected from two teams before we even entered CPQ. Any ideas on how to make a team and find another honest person for trade wins? I keep reading how people get ripped off.

Guild and Alliance.

With this ring event we had lots of people with chars in CPQ range at the same time, so it was especially easy to find enough people for a pure alliance 2v2 or 3v3 tw. Those who were ahead helped/leeched the ones who were lagging. Much much nicer than trying to CPQ with randoms *shudder*.
