    Remove 3+ man requirement for lvl 75 content.

    Pretty much what the title says. Is this really necesarry? There are people that would still want to do some of the 75 content but can't because they can't even rally up 2 other players. SE pretty much killed 75 and since a lot of old content can be solo'd, might as well remove the 3man requirement don't you think?

    I understand this is an MMO and you're supposed to play together, but if you can't even get other people to do it then there's no point. SE loves adding content and letting it die, but at least make it still usable.

    Of course some changes would have to be made, for instance you wouldn't be able to solo Nyzul Isle the lamp order floors. Not like anyone likes lamp floors so they might as well remove that entirely if you ask me.

    I hope it's because I'm an Elvaan and I could use the INT boost, and not because I think it's perfectly reasonable to require two other people to do what amounts to maybe 10% of the content in this massive multi-player online game.

    The multiplayer aspect in a game should be implied due to content you can't clear on your own, not through arbitrary restrictions. That's like saying Super Smash Brothers should have a single-player mode that can only be activated with four people playing it, where one guy plays the game and the other three just need to sit there and breathe through their mouths.

    3 man requirement is necessary or you would see 10x more thread where people complain that the gear is too easy to obtain. As long as it's not 18 or 36 man requirement, it's good. The only objection I would have is doing a mythic, but for this you can build 2 gimps characters that would help you go in assault/salvage/ w/e, that's not exactly what the average player is looking for though.

    We' ve had massive threads in the past mostly about assault missions and Nyzul isle.

Therefore, the rewards, and other aspects, are balanced for the "cost" of 3 people or more entering.
    thread went on and they said they'd never change it.

    and as for someone making 2 other characters and 3 boxing stuff, I've seen that before and it just looked goofy. guy was doing Salvage.

    While I understand why people three-box in general, I choose to read this as you suggesting people spend $40 a month to run assault.

    Oh pchan!

    (srs though the fact that it's most likely impossible to make a mythic without two extra accounts is an Actual Problem and is by itself reason enough to get rid of the restriction)

    I didn't make 2 other characters for it, but I did/do occasionally use my GF's and my best friend's characters to go into Salvage and use the log out thing so they keep their stuff.
