Zadnor fates need retuning.

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

I view party feature as a game-given tool to make my gameplay easier, in this case: getting gold rating. Why would I deny such good tool when it’s just few clicks away.. well to each their own.

Until they’re tuned (if it’s going to happen at all), your best bet is still to stick on one zone & party up with players of similar goals. Personally I, too have fair share of soloing myself & still get gold rating 7 out of 10 times. Partying up shoots that number up to 9 out of 10 times.

Also: while I do agree some skirmishes do need abit of tuning (Attack of the Machines is one of them that I can remember), I fail to see how those players burning down skirmishes under 20s can be ‘unfair’. They worked hard for that, why would you punish them for investing their time & being creative?

EDIT: After clearing one of the skirmish called "Relic Unleashed" (the one you fought pseudo Famfrit in zone 3), something about this skirmish could probably be used as a potential fix. Unlike many other skirmish, this one shows up in the map, but bosses remains untargetable for a bit less than a minute. This notifies other players & enables them to gather up before actually starting the encounter. One minute may not sounds enough, but it's definitely enough for those who camp to dedicate farming in -one- zone
