Playing dungeons with a friend + NPCs

[DeltaCyan]

I disagree. NPCs are the answer for older content with long queues. When it comes to new patch dungeons, I always use the NPCs to go through the dungeons & learn mechanics. I enjoy playing with other players when needed, like the roulettes, new raid or trials content, but l love playing with the NPCs. I would have no problem if all the normal 8-man trials had the option to use NPCs.

What you are saying isn't wrong, of course NPCs allow for people to skip long que times and play in a safe space. Thats still taking away people from potentially interacting with each other if all they do is play with NPCs, especially if they do it all throughout the extremely long MSQ. Hence why servers can feel dead.
