Thread: Grinding since patch 1.16

Honestly, partying right now is just as mindless as soloing doblyns was so I don't see the point in all of this. The way to incentivize partying is to make it a fun AND rewarding experience. Until such time as the combat situation is fixed to make partying actually fun I think we should be allowed to solo effectively (a la doblyns). That's just how I feel, of course. Maybe everyone else has a blast in parties and it's just me.

I agree with you almost completely. Partying is a mindless, soul draining experience. That said though it is something we should all do for that someday... someday, the game will be fixed. Do the best you can with what you got I suppose.

This is what I learned from partying in FFXI: "l'enfer, c'est les autres."
Partying should not be mandatory.
