Solo dungeons and Gambit system

[Gralna]

I believe such a system already exists. Called final fantasy 1-10. I do not understand why dev time focuses on solo content when the game is an mmo. The focus should be on people banding together to overcome obstacles in the game.

From what I understand of community that wants this, myself included, it'd be so people can rerun old content without having to wait for the queue times, which will be even worse as time goes on and newer content is released. Whether this is for farming glamour gear, newbies progressing through story, or spiritbonding. Just because this is an MMO, doesn't mean EVERYTHING has to be done in a party.

Agree 100%. As content continues to come through, older content will become less attended. Making it so people can solo this older content would make it relavent to some degree.

What I want is, this system will encourage new player to play tank and healer.
Many people afraid to play that role because of the sense of responsibility.

Bit less stress if you can play with dumb NPC, but learning in progress.
Same like play DOTA with Bot.

If they do add npcs as partyable "players" for duties, i hope it will be locked for low level duties, a lot of players will opt for npcs over actual players if the npcs are good And can handle more complex fights (such as aiatar as some mentioned previously, brayflox longstop's final boss).

I also hope our retainers would be the ones fighting with us. Will be kind of like using our adventuring fellows in FFXI (and trusts... and whatever the newest one is [alter ego?]).

It might be necessary to have npcs in the future, considering most people probably don't run low level roulettes unless their doing animus and whatnot.
