I have my friendly chocobo who is incredibly loyal and never talks back. I give him some carrots from time to time but otherwise he is just content to be pecking.
Depends on the player. There's plenty of ways to play, and one isn't less valid than the other (unless you're like, breaking rules or something).

So our thread necromancer can play the game mostly solo if he wants. He just has to get through some one time instances, but as mentioned repeatedly, then he never has to return. And everyone else is free to use instances as much or as little (barring the one time clears) as they like.
