A Simple Lack of Fun

[Betelgeuzah]

uh, rule of thumb on soloing on 1.19
1. dont fight mob that its rank +2 higher
2. dont fight more than one mob at a time

unless you are skilled and well equipped of course...

You forgot the most important:

0. Come to the forums, preferably having a level 50 character already, and bitch about not being able to solo in the same way you did before at lower levels when dLvl was the king and equipment was there for shits and giggles without actual purpose. Include the impossibility of acquiring gear even with new, significantly simplified recipes, NPC sellable mats and lots of money making possibilities for new players.
