I feel bad for players that only have time to solo. SE FIX SOLOING, THIS IS NOT FFXI-2.

Please no. Not everyone is trying to rush to cap. I like the solo speed exactly where it is, if not slower.

I also agree that grouping should be more lucrative than soloing anyway.

Really glad you're not working on this game.

I agree. There are some periods when I only have time to solo and it sucks pretty hard the higher you get. The exp doesn't need to be as good as group exp ofcourse but it does neet to be better. It seems like it got even lower this update.

Are you guys serious? Solo EXP is already PRETTY DAMN FAST with leves and guardian's aspect. What do you want? For it to be as fast as a group EXP party? Lv50 in a day since a week is way too long?

Don't convince the devs to baby this game up to cater to your 20 minutes of playtime per day please. You can complain about EXP rates in 2004 FFXI but definitely not in this game. It's easy enough as it is.

Soloing options exist in all MMOs and should also exist here.

MMOs are almost exclussively designed with endgame partying in mind, not random 1 mob at a time field mobs.

I support AOE abilities, links and solo chaining.

Yay, someone who agrees! :D I was honestly pretty surprised that more people didn't share my opinion. That said, after following this thread I'm glad I finished my battle classes last night. Paragon's Crown ftw!

It's not because soloing is too slow. I think the speed is ok for solo play. But the speed for party play is way too fast. Because the turbo-speed party play the solo play feel like too slow.

If they slow down party exp speed then they'll slow down solo exp speed even more.

I don't see how soloing is a problem can get 1-20 solo in mere hours. If anything they need to just make leves more fun like escort missions and other things but i just think leves are daily fodder quest which gives you good exp if you waste your time on them.
