    Make MSQ groupable, and Trusts for incomplete groups

    My wife and I play together, and quite frankly I'm getting sick and tired of the crap we have to deal with getting through content. Having to break group to do MSQ quests is very immersion breaking, and sitting in queue to find crap/afk healers/dps every time to do a dungeon is getting ridiculous when we could just bring two Trust NPC's along and be done with it.

    I don't see a technical reason for this can't be, nor do I see it being game breaking, after all, the whole idea of Trust seems to be enabling complete solo play of game content. And with all the extra cash you have on hand from the influx of WoW refugees, I don't see it being fiscally impractical.

    In terms of MSQ aspect, completely agree. Of what reason a MMO game forces people into single player instance this frequently? You can at least pick one player (party leader) as a player and put other party members observer seat -- just like some trial fights, players kicked out of platform now can watch what entire team is doing.


    But then you can always turn yourself or your companion healer if you don't want to wait. It's a MMO. You are expected to be play with other 'ambiguous' people. I think Trust system is an afterthought due to Tankexity/Healexity and too long to wait when running a DPS class.


    Good thing is, all the Roulettes and dungeon queues now short of Tanks (and healer queues are also congested due to the new class) and you seem to be covered in this aspect as well. Just ask your partner to pick up healer. There are humongous queue for DPS as well, thanks to Reaper.

    msq is just a visual novel, read it out loud together
    then go back and skip all the cutscenes on the account you didnt play it on, youll catch up to the other person in like 5 minutes
    really this should work

    I agree with this, my husband been asking for this since Trusts came out.


    Trust system can be used as a teaching tool as well, being able to at least duo with Trust should be allowed. The fact they did not do it, is the biggest failure of this expansion so far content wise.

    I'd wager it's a balance issue. The balance of Trusts being an instant queue is that they can take longer than a party of player characters, largely by either adjusting their dps or by not using AoE or stopping attacks during mechanics. If two players, especially two DPS players, were able to group with Trust members, they'd likely be able to wreck house, or at the very lease come much closer to on par with full player parties. Since that would fly against the original intent, it remains designed for a solo experience.

    I would absolutely love this. Me and my wife play together and would love to do the dungeons with each other with the trust. And stay together for all quests instead of splitting up for the solo duties.
