the attitude towards soloing is terrible, why do you hate solo'ers so much that you are automatically against giving them access to equal rewards ?
the reply that solo'ers don't need shard gear etc to solo is pathetic and childish, no one needs any of this gear or any thing in the game, unsubscribe and you'll do just fine, you don't need to play.
SOE should send a clear message, either give an option to get shards solo by some means or basically say solo is not welcome here and people who prefer to solo or have little time to group can leave the game.
Why create a class like necro and then devote most of the content to groups that don't want a necro ?
Either force grouping or embrace solo'ers honestly, i've had enough. give people equal rewards for quests that are about difficulty not how many group members and how much they had to group to get the gear.
what exactly is the difference between some who spends the time in game in a group and someone that spends it solo ?
if i kill ten mobs on my own it takes longer and is harder than a group killing those same ten mobs is it not ? so soloing is takes longer and is harder but the rewards are pathetic compared to group/raid rewards. I play EQ2 as game i don't come here to make friends and compare epeens.
the mechanic we have that focuses on group/raid content that really began in EQ and is popularised by WoW is one that is fatally flawed and needs a real rethink. its just lazy. I avoid grouping as much as i can in game and in RL, you don't like soloers ? well would you like it better if you had to group from lvl1 ? those lvl1 mobs that need a full group to beat ? sound good to you ? in fact make it so you can't login until you have a group of 5 ? put a lobby in and when the group splits up you get kicked back to it you'll like that right ? no soloing at all ever ? this is an MMO right multiplayer all the time no choice in the matter. why not just give groups a shard every third trash mob ? why not make it possible to /report anyone you see soloing and they get banned ?
