The last thing this game needs is more solo content. In fact, I hope there's zero solo content in the next expansion.

JW is proof that large scale solo does not belong in MMO's.

Well, change that to "cannot solo quest from 1-70 without vit" and maybe I'll agree. T8 is certainly doable. As is almost every other tier, with small "dry spots" here and there. (Although, if you're truly completing ALL solo quest content, even some of the obscure shit, I might disagree.)

But the $64k question here is... so what? Is anyone disturbed by the fact that you can solo to L66-68, spend 25p and buy up some cheap collections, then start soloing ROK at L70? You think it SHOULD be cheap, simple, quick and easy to solo to max level in an MMO? I submit that it should not! Soloing should be a viable (but slower) alternative to levelling through heroic content. However, the lack of constant AA gain through this game's heroic content isn't enough of a carrot-on-a-stick to keep people interested. And I see that not as a flaw in the heroic content, but rather the fact that solo questlines give too much reward when it comes to total AA gain.

Regardless, the most effective way to level up a well rounded character and learn how to play it is to find a small group of people and level together. Work through solo quests quickly, and hit most of the dungeon content for each tier. There's a lot of really neat heroic content that so many people never see because they're focused just on getting L80/120AA as soon as humanly possible, and don't want to rely on other people at all in the process. Imho, doing it that way will not give you the most enjoyment... agree or disagree as you will, but this is still a game, if you're not enjoying it [because you're mindlessly grinding solo quests for 4-8 weeks straight or whatever] then what the fuck are you doing playing it?

I think they should just make a questgiver at each starting zone that you can interact with and after gathering a bundle of sticks from the box next to him you gain enough xp for 1lvl and 1aa this quest should be repeatable 69times and on the 70th turn in you are ported to KP

some other web based mmo seems fun

Every game is solo-friendly now. That is the trend and I am sure devs will stick to it for awhile.

At least some people in the industry have realized that quest grinding is just as boring as traditional exp grinding. It would be good if they just kept a balance between the two.

Repetition = boring, no matter what it is.

or stalking them.

fine line, tbh.
