Quote:I think they just wrote it in a bad way. It's not like you can't group anymore, you just don't have to. To me, it feels like most other games, I still prefer grouping because I have more fun that way, but I like being able to solo when there's no one online. I think it's fine that they're not forcing you to group all the time, so if there's no one online, you don't have to sit through a horrible group of rude people to get anything done at all.I don't think people will group if they don't have to. Maybe with friends for fun, but if I'm someone interested in leveling and I can do it alone at the same rate as in a group, who needs a group? I like the way it was in XI. You have to group most of the time for most jobs or else you die. Oh and the K.O. penalty was pretty brutal :p The spirit of coming together to accomplish anything gave XI a certain feel that other MMOs didn't have. The time I played around with a couple, they felt like single player games with chat boxes. I feel that solo play should basically be the worst option. I wouldn't have met a lot of cool people if I hadn't been partying all the time on some other jobs.
I’m the bullies you hate, that you became.
