solo-quests/mission: there are lots and lots of quests to do right now which all yeild some SP. I would think its better then solo sp but nothing like a grind party.

The hardest part of 1.18 for SP was adjusting to the new rate of SP gains, it seems they want to slow us down slightly with progression. Downing 60-100k/leve reset doing the leve fail method was great while it lasted but it was way to fast from 1-50 (like 6 weeks doing about 10hours of grind /week) or (60hours total ~~~ WAY TOO FAST)
Kinda going off topic, but I know someone who has leveled a class from 1 to 45 in the span of 11 days. It is still too fast, IMO. And now there is no surplus impeding us. Not that I liked surplus, just saying.
