Frizze...THANKS so much for taking the time to post. Sincerely appreciated. I am going to try to stick with it, hopefully to get through the Story so I can fully enjoy the game. I just have always had a phobia about group MP gameplay, it's my problem that I avoid it but I was annoyed that to simply complete the story I had to group so often in FFXIV. It doesn't have to do with anything other than that. I have been in groups that had players that ruined the preferred friendly gameplay that should be what groups are all about and since then always avoid it, thus I normally solo all I can, even group tasks/dungeons if possible. MP play when it's open world impromptu co-op or with friends I enjoy, but forced groups with random people is just not fun for me. I always try to reach out, thanking group members, making the time spend fun, but one uber-ego grump can be a pain. Again THANKS so much, this is pretty much what I gleaned so far but your explanation was excellent. Take care
