I do laugh when people bring out the everQUEST card, not realising the original game had about 6 quests in it. 3 of which were broken and one noone even knew about because they hadn't managed to type the right combination of words to get the dumbass NPC to say something.

QFE!

The devs have totally killed non-raid content for me.
They also killed alts cause I can't fucking stand doing the same dull quests again and again on alts. And lvling up with a group is simply not an option.

And omg, don't even start to write bullshit like: "Hey you can do the solo quests with a group to speed it up."

Damn retards.

Currently my wife and I just re-joined the game ( started over though ) and we're 76. The RoK solo quests suck ass. "Run here and get this, bring it back, then click this, watch it despawn and wait 10 minutes for it to spawn again for your wife to get it".... meh. I'd rather do heroics than solo shit any day of the week.

Granted, I don't mind SOME of the ability to solo when needed ( my wife can't play as much as me, she cooks and stuff :P ) so I often have to play her to keep her up to me exp-wise but otherwise I like grouping 150% more.

Overall it hurts the community because people have no idea how to group when the time comes. I've joined a few PUGs and can honestly say that I don't think I'll be doing it again, I'll wait for guildies to do it with me. The level of stupidness is brought to an all-time high it seems.

I agree and disagree. I think the quest content is a nice change of pace, but it does not teach people to really play their classes. There are plenty of places for people to grind to 80 in a group setting. And if you want any remotely good RoK gear (outside of raiding), most of it resides in the dungeons like MC, CoA, Chelsith and VoES. Granted, not terribly challenging, but fun nonetheless.

Now, on a different note; I grouped with a 67 Zerker on Nektolus last night and holy shit!!!!!!!! I thought the guy was brain dead. How the fuck he got to 67 is beyond me -- and there are not enough quests to totally solo your way up to that level! So WTF!!!!! The guy couldn't pull, couldn't taunt, he couldn't do shit! That is scary....going 67 levels and never learning a damn thing.....yikes!

Did you ever actually check xp rate in heroic RoK dungeons?

Did you actually ever play EQ2?

Won't you just please gtfo?

I didn't mind the questing that much, but they really did go WAY overboard going that direction. IMO there should have been the option to do the solo quest for about half your xp to get to cap, then leave the rest to heroic quests and dungeon grinding.

BUT they would have to improve the heroic xp rate to make that viable. That and put some more content for the middle levels. Currently KC is for your low 70s, then there is nothing but solo quests until you get to 78+ when you can be effective in Seb/Chardok and the instances. Next expansion needs a dungeon/instance or 2 that is tuned around level 85 so we have somewhere to go not only for xp in the middle levels, but also for middle tier gear/masters.

I expect that the next expansion will go back toward the group concept, and probably to the extreme, because that's what SOE does...they hear people bitch, ignore it for a long time, then when they do make a change they WAY over-correct the other way.

Next Expansion they need to settle on what kind of gear bonuses we are going to get because raiders are capped on all their current stats in-game.
