the game become more and more pain in the ass after every patch and heading toward party play (if no one notice yet)

Isn't party play common for a MMORPG in the high end level?

You could also just go to the spawn area and see if anyone shows up. These past few days doing this quest there's always been several people there willing to teamup for the NM.
