Well, had this been another game, then yeah maybe. But ever since ARR was still in development, it's been known and stated by Yoshi-P that this game is designed under an accessible "theme park" MMORPG structure. That's not to say they can't add some of that stuff in, some of which I would love to see, but that it's understandable why it isn't there... at least for now.

Oh, I was getting worried people would stop bringing this up.

All these thing might be the reason this is the first MMO i haven't gotten bored or frustrated with. I reply again when that changes and we'll go from there.

where are you getting "98%" from?

You can do 100% of this game solo. I just wouldn't reccomend it.

the 2% would be raiding, pvp ,etc etc ....content you literally cant solo.....though it makes up a vast majority rather than 2 % ....dungeons included ........

sure you can do things solo.. but than why play a MMO? helping friends or new players is also fun to do. Heck I make new friends everyday just lvling. Also crafting is much easyer with others help. The market would be nothing without other people. So to say things are all ez solo is kinda silly. This a MMO it runs because we run it.

This is agame where you do what you enjoy. Crafters love the market and the challenge of HQing items to sell or use, gatherers enjoy gathering or use it to craft with ( I can fish all day and just enjoy it but its nice when others are around to chat with) Leveling is great fun and yea LFR is ez to get into, but if you wanna do the really hard fights you need a solid group or people you mesh with.

Again sure you can solo it...but why it just makes things less fun and if you do than why play a MMO?

Well in a sense that...you don't even need to really speak to people in this game to be honest....Like at all.
Do most things on DF and go about your day just by solo que.

- What is Weakness and durability loss?
- Except for the Hell that is referred to as the Sylphlands.
- No idea, sorry.
- That's true enough.
- I don't understand, what would be a difficult leveling system?
- There's a difference between friends and people with a common interest
- 3 if you count unchecking the "French" language in Duty Finder
- Trade currency? Like Oakknots and GC seals?
- Pure support wouldn't work in this environment in my opinion.

Wasn't it in FFXI where if you died, you lost exp? i thought that was so cool...
