CoP was fantastic, after CoP the other expansions felt as though they were missing something in way of difficulty and content. I never felt CoP was so hard that you needed a static to finish it. That said I did have a few people that I always did the missions with, but never a full 6. Over 80% of CoP was done with shout PUGs (pre-nerf) with the other 20% being random LS mates tagging along either because they needed it or were passed it and willing to help.

This game is in serious lack of good group based story content, closest thing we have now are job classes with most of those being solo til the 45's, and even then it was rather easy with less then 8. Don't get me wrong here the job missions were a step in the right direction, and I enjoyed them very much. I only hope in the future we can get something on par with the avatar fights for mission based content.
