I'll be honest, been away for months, I'd just like to see more done to let people solo. I love Vanadiel, I love the world building, I love the mechanics of the game, I love the characters etc. And I love seeing other people around, and interacting with them in my own way on my own terms. But I don't have any close friends who play anymore, and pick up groups these days are just not very fun. I just resubbed to tinker a bit but I am unlikely to stick around for more than a month because the game sub is incredibly expensive, and because it's so tedious to make any progress solo.
I'd like to see ways for solo players to make decent CP, and to work on stuff like ambuscade gear solo, without having to use 3rd party tools to optimize and swap gear automatically. Basically, I'd just like them to think of laddering people a bit more like a single player game so that there is a way to do most everything in the game on your own time, in your own way without having to team up.
I do like grouping, but only if people are chill and social about it. Basically, I don't play videogames to be stressed out, so most groups are really not my cup of tea these days. I'm no superstar player, and I never will be, and I don't want to ruin anyone's run by being a dirty casual. I'd rather derp around by myself without pressure. But there isn't really a clear, enjoyable path to improving my character (other than grinding a super weapon, which bores me to tears everytime I try).
I know folks will chime in to say "but, but it is an MMO" and I say... yeah and subs are what keeps this machine rolling. As long as soloing is less efficient than grouping, lots of folks will group. I just want a path forward, not the best path forward. Because I do like the game and I want it to last.
Currently a lot of my best gear is from the gobbie box and... well seriously, that's the worst way to help casual or solo players because outside of a quick login to get your lotto, it doesn't encourage people to actually play the game. I'd rather them scale back all the lotteries and scale up the usefulness of trusts so that people can make progress solo better.
