    MMO means there's a ton of other people in the game world and that's it. If people want to run with npcs they should be able to.

    multiplayer means you play with others that def was made after WoW which is not group centric.

    but i agree if ppl want to run with npc to practice, I'm all for it. My g/f was running brayflox with npc as an ast to fine tune her cross hotbar since npc eat everything. Even made the npc do big pulls, just to get a more authetic experience. Also while we are at it, players act more like quiet npc anyway. unless raging.

    Wish I could like this comment 1400 times.
    I used to play an mmo that added what the OP is asking and it turned the mmorpg into a desert where people play alone with their little controllable party.

    That's what you do in dying mmos

    A suggestion that works with what we have is to make more/funner tanks. Add 2 new and unique tanks as new jobs in 5.0 for example.

    Also you should consider joining small FCs with people who would help you tank dungeons. Big FCs don't do that ironically.

    i just meant if it was taking 30 minutes to Q as DPS then they just have the option to use a squad member, they wouldn't be forced to, primary would still be too pickup people for the first 5 minutes then you have the option after that. If you like just sitting there waiting for 30 minute Queues you can still do that.

    My suggestion is to find things to do while waiting for that queue to pop. The reason DPS have long queues is that the role is essentially overpopulated compared to healer and tank. Part of this is the generic trend of MMORPG populations that generally follow this trend unless game balance causes healers or tanks to be OP. Also another factor is that we only have 3 healer and tank jobs but a total of 9 DPS jobs.

    As far as the adventure squad filling slots... I'd rather not have my healer and or tank in every group be a bot.

    Except the suggestion is being made due to lack of other players/roles being available. MMO is all well and good until you have to waste 30mins+ just to do a simple dungeon. (if you only have 2-3hrs to play, thats a huge deal)

    Options need to be available

    The Command missions seem like a beta for eventually adding in NPCs to fight alongside players in dungeons. It'll probably work the same as Undersized parties though in that you can't use them in instances that are considered current content, once they get added atleast.

    One can only hope... New players learn absolutely nothing from the rush-grubs infesting the leveling roulettes, where most mechanics are ignored anyway.
