Soooooooo npc party?

[TwistedTea]

I can't help being salty about this addition. I just don't get why this game even needs the trust system when no one currently has trouble getting through content unless they avoid DF like the plague.

MMORPGs are catering more and more toward the solo experience. And if we are being pedantic, I've brought this up before in other threads; the MSQ is mostly a solo experience to begin with duty finder/matchmaking lobby thrown in occasionally. Being able to clear MSQ dungeons/trials with an NPC party is not going to change that experience much in that aspect.

I would have decried this 'soloization' of MMOs in the past but as a SCH main for combat content and someone who mostly uses duty finder to clear MSQ stuff; I rather do said content with an NPC party.

Firstly, I'm in a different timezone than most of NA so can't really group up with friends or FC mates. Secondly, the skill level of party members you get in DF can vary significantly. Especially now, that there are no new raids and the raiders are either doing other stuff or not logging in.

Third, my own skill level is not that great despite reading/watching guides.

I'd rather do fights with an NPC party and learn fight mechanics at my own pace than being chewed out by party members for not understanding mechanics or not reacting fast enough.
