    The main scenario is just quests, battles for fun, and knowledge of what happens. Its this huge optional thing.
    As it stands you can pretty much do all of endgame without even playing it.

    In 2.0 we will get content finder which forms groups cross servers, so finding people to do the missions won't be an issue.

    If you don't want to play with people why even play an mmorpg? o_____________o

    AF quests are much more important to have cleared than the main scenario and they are a lot harder and require some decent gameplay.

    I don't mind playing with people at all. It's just that finding a group in this game is just as painful as it was in XI. You know i keep hearing people say how XI was so good because it forced you to group and thus enabled you to build relationships and that is why some think is so superior. But having played both XI and WOW for years, WOW which a lot of people here claim it is too solo centric, it was always MUCH MUCH easier to find people to play with in WOW then it ever was in XI.

    and i'm not even talking about the Dungeon finder tool here. In WOW if you are doing a quest and require some help, it never took me more then 5 -10 min to find someone. There is always people around your area, people who may also be on the same quests and i found people to be a lot friendlier when asked to group then in XI. I find that in XI, people are way too much into their own LS and only care about that. Even before the dungeon finder tool i had less problems making a group then i did in XI.

    So unless they make grouping easier in 2.0, please don't try to force any group content down my throat unless its Dungeons and Raids.

    This thread is based on 2.0. Yoshi has stated the plot is frozen until 2.0 release.

    Anyhow, I never have trouble finding people to party with. And people don't even use the search system...

    now picture how it'll be with the new search and content finder! I really doubt getting people will be an issue anymore. And if that's the only problem, then I'll label this as a non issue.

    Yeah that's really my only problem. I hate spending 1h looking for people. I can understand that for those with a really good and big LS or that play for a lot of hours, it's not a problem. But for people like me who got 1 or 2 hours to play, if i gotta waste more then half that time just finding people, then i just rather play solo.

    Not to take away from your problems, because they sound legit, I think some of your problem might be your server then. Having been on Masamune now coming from Kashaun (which was a freakin ghost town) I have been pleasantly suprised by how easy it has been to make a group via shouting in Ul'dah. As of yet, of the 15 or 16 times I have shouted for a group for xp or artifact missions, I haven't had to wait longer than 15 mins for a full party. No one ever wants to reroll, and I totally get that but, if you ever find yourself on Masamune, look up Behemoth King, we will get you what you need
