I've started using the Xbox app's Looking for Group function while playing Sea of Thieves the past two weeks at times I don't have any buddies on. This thing is incredible. It instantly lets you find other players who are on comparable skill levels or at least trying to do the same types of activities. If I want to hunt for skull forts, I can find a group of people that are doing that. If I want to grind merchant missions, I can find a group for that. If I want to speed run Legendary missions, there are people doing that. It's a really great way to simplify finding a game.
You can also tag your Looking for Group posts to specifically search for people who have mics, who are okay with trash talk, who are of a specific level, and on and on and on. I've found some pretty solid groups this way, and really only ended up in one bad one. Even there, made friends with the girl in the group because she was the only one besides me actually pulling her weight.
With that last group, I boarded an enemy ship, killed their entire crew almost three times, and sunk their ship, and somehow my idiot teammates still got our ship sunk.
