Why can't we solo old content?

[Moheeheeko]

Yeah but you outgrow the gear quickly anyway. No one takes the battlemage set seriously for it's stats right? They just want it for Glamours. There is no risk in queuing up for low level roulette and facerolling a dungeon. It's a waste of time and a very inefficient way of getting something for vanity purposes. The amount of 50s queuing to get drops for a vanity slot is far less I'd imagine than you're assuming.

There is no reason not to allow it.

Battlemage set will last you easily till you get your AF set, thats a lot of not needing to care about gear while levelling.

And glamours are as much of a reward as using the gear for the stats to some people, and the risk is the possibility of wasting time because the gear didn't drop, someone else won the roll, or getting a group of very new players and not even actually finishing.

Risk vs Reward.

Oh im sorry, this is the generation of entitled "ME ME I WANT IT NOW" players.

carry on.

One of my favorite things to do in WoW was solo old dungeons to collect armor sets for glamour and other fun stuff. We also used to run our friends through for some gear.

Is there any reason why SE is not letting us do this?

As of now, the game is still VERY young and the dungeons are a teaching tool.

I'd say it's far too soon to even consider this for now. Keep in mind, I'm not shooting you down, I just think it's entirely too soon.

No to things that turns MMOs into a single player games.

There is that grievance too.

However, this is one of those things where it's just a matter of time, but the question is how much time will be necessary for this game. With FFXI, for example, it took over five years for them to decide make the game where I could do things like solo Diabolos and trio Divine Might. Which DM was once an 18 man fight.

Queueing solo might be a problem, but this guy has already done it.

^ Scholar solo Amdapor Keep. About 1.5 hours long.

I'm sure at some point it will be possible. As someone mentioned above, right now might be too soon.
Wouldn't be surprised if by expansion time they open up most or all of the "older" dungeons to solo que.

This game is already practically single player with duty finder.

Personally, I wouldn't mind it if it gives people more options to have fun, but I wouldn't do it.
Now TERA has solo dungeons you can do and it's pretty fun. I am new to TERA so I dunno too much.
You don't get gear drops or anything but it is pretty fun to explore and fight at your own pace. I'm also a Priest and it's fun as hell.

On here, I wouldn't like it because the WHM sucks balls when it goes to PvE play, and we don't get a AoE till 45 and the combat feels really slow
for me to solo anything, same with SCH, easier but meh...it's not fun, only fun to Heal here.

I'd like the instances to have lil' campfires too or resting stops, to increase your HP bar thing for a while like TERA does and sit, and eat your food for buffs etc.
[TERA uses charms or whatever lol.] Would be pretty neat though to look around the dungeons and probably find something hidden and stuff at your own leisure.
