I think that a few things need to be in place for this to happen though.
* Better search & LFG tools
* Improve monster distribution world-wide to allow for group grinding
* Transportation system improved (mounts/ships)
* Fun party mechanics -- improved BR system or Skillchain

At least for the foundation of a good grouping/grindng system. There are some great ideas for party questing systems in this thread. I would happily give up the grind if there were more fun options that still involved grouping.
Oh yeah its great they are revising the game for solo players, but if they aren't doing something to help people level when they are in groups, which we haven't heard anything about whatsoever, and hasn't even been hinted at, at the exact same time its screwing over alot of the player base. All the ideas are great, that have been in this thread, including yours for party play. I am just very weary of this patch with 1.19 not coming until more than likely the end of summer.
