Seriously, I work A LOT and the bearly few hours I have a day that I want to play Diablo, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find decent party to grift with in order for my DH to get stronger.
Everyone play season and it's fine, but I dont want to invest the little time I have in starting everything from zero.
So, is there some secret cult of non seasonal players that I'm not aware of or should I just quit?
I was about to post this actually.... I'm going to jump back onto my non-season toons for a while. i'm trying to burn through some puzzle rings (about 20 or so), and a whole lot of grift keys (in excess of 1,000). I plan on speed farming grifts - around lvl 45ish. Feel free to pm me in game if your interested. i'm on NA servers, ysoserious#1178

Maybe try something different in seasons like a hardcore character on a class you've never played before :D, I know it may sound silly or terribly annoying having to do things from scratch and whatnot, but there is a lot of fun to be had by experiencing the game from a different perspective :). I too am a demon hunter and work 50 hours a week, so game time is something very near and dear to me, the way to stay busy is to always experience new things...and when all things fail, there is always the public games, you never know, you may actually meet some new people there and friend them and you guys can get a group for pushing going!
Anything is possible, the only limitation is your will give up.
Or he can find nonseason players like he initially wanted. There are tons of non-season folks on. You might also want to check for non-season specific clans.
Dont forget to add me - i'm going to be getting some NS groups together daily.

I usually clock out about 60 hours every week at work. I maybe have about 1-2 hrs of time to play Monday thru Saturday and whatever time I want to commit to playing on Sunday. I'm currently at 615 Paragon. I think there is a big stigma of seasons being for competitive players only but I feel like only a couple hundred people qualify as being "competitive." I play seasons just to break up the monotony every three or four months.
Or just get yourself powerleveled in season? Maybe seize the opportunity to try a different class?
It's far more complicated than that.
I appreciate that there are 4 different game modes (HC NS and HC Seasonal included), offering players numerous choices etc etc. .... but I did not expect that there would be such a schism between season and non season as there is now. The disparity in player populations is dramatically worse than I thought it would be.
I don't like the idea of seasons, but I supported them being implemented because I knew many others would love it, and that would be good for the player-base overall. I play HC exclusively now and have for a very long time, but I got talked into jumping into season 4 because so many of my clan mates and friends were going hc season.
It's been a disaster. As soon as s4 hit, I picked up some extra work and I barely had enough time to play the first week to get 100 para, and then I started working even more.
Because I haven't had time to play I made a few mistakes and lost two characters back to back (I don't die much usually). So now everyone is ahead of me by hundreds of para and that combined with their impressive gear causes them to be far more powerful than I am, causing frustration when trying to party up and set the game difficulty.
There's no clear end to the hours I'm working, so I said 'fuck it' and went back to my fully loaded 650+ paragon non-season monks. Maybe a future season will work out when I get back to an easier schedule, but what makes non-season so great for some people is that we can work heavy hours and still enjoy a well-paragon'd, stoutly geared full account.
The issue? My choices of HC players to party with went down from about 40 to only 5. ...and don't even mention joining a public HC non season game. You will rarely ever find one .... not even one game. So yeah.......this issue is worse than I thought it would be. The disparity is too wide.
The silly part is; They would literally have to start introducing non season-only items at the start of each "era" to correct this issue. Not saying I support that idea, but that's the only thing I see fixing the disparity, because the chasm is a mile wide as of now.
I think this has gotten way off topic. The OP was asking where to find a group to play non-season with, not whether they should try out seasons or not.
Ruksak's point, is correct in my opinion (as they usually are). I wish they would eliminate seasons entirely - but this is not what this thread is supposed to be about.
The 'secret cult' of NS players is out there - and I have suggested some place to look.

I play mainly solo non season, I did start a season 4 Monk but after lvl30 odd went back to my non season Monk.. I would like to play in a group but never really tried it and I don;t want to feel I have to follow the leader all the time and run flat out constantly like most pub games I have tried or every one generally takes off not caring about the group in general, no one stays together which makes group runs to me very unappealing....am I wrong in thinking this?
I am also in the similar situation as OP. I play D3 (softcore, NS) mostly 2-3 hours per week (on some weeks I don't play at all). I've manged to get to paragon 420, I beat GR 40 (and I'm looking to go higher) and I am pretty satisfied with my Barbs. My friends either play seasons, or stopped playing completely. Generally, I mostly play alone - and I'm find with it. D3 serves its purpose as a casual game.

If you're only playing "to get stronger" and not for fun, WoW may be the game you're looking for.
D3 is a casual game to waste extra time on. The sooner you realize that, the happier you'll be.

What region are you playing in? In the Asian region, i think there are a lot of Non-Seasonal players.
I play mainly solo non season, I did start a season 4 Monk but after lvl30 odd went back to my non season Monk..

so except for NS Elite Club, is there any other non season communities?
