And to defend Kensei, he groups a lot so please don't categorize him as a party hating soloer because that could not be further from the truth.

That being said, yes, the cost of the cures are high, but how many times do you honestly need to heal yourself while killing a mob? Two, maybe three times? Personally, I find I'm able to fight multiple leve mobs at once and get away with no cure or 1 cure before they all die. Maybe that's cause I'm an archer, I don't know, but I really think It is gonna be ok guys.

Hey Wynn, we'll discuss this in more detail with with the guys when we are both playing

More people will return to the game because of GROUP PLAY than will quit because they can't solo.. I can't tell you how many of my FFXI friends who tried 14 quit because they said, "To solo for me".. and who will return because of these types of changes..
