I really think they should just do way more solo instances, even if they aren't on the level of In From the Cold or anything. Both in the MSQ and in sidequests.

In the later years of the game these solo duties have been extremely fun and make good use of the combat system. I genuinely had a blast in that one early solo fight in DT. Even doing some basically mechanics like left/right cleaves is more fun than talking to NPCs and clicking to wait.

I wonder if they don't go all out on these because they are worried about server overload?
