Why does SE need to fix this? Because 18 people no longer there to burn pages? I mean every time I went at least 6-8 people were parked afk leeching maybe from falling asleep, or intentionally leeching because they know they could.
Anyone can solo up to 18 and then solo pages in gusgen mines. Then again anyone could level to 30 pretty fast if the person actually had the gear rather than expect to level up to 30 off level 10 gear.
Even with 3 people its fast.
