Let’s really widen the gulf between solo and group players! Soloists deserve to be disadvantaged even more than they already are. /sarcasm
I’m mostly solo, so I agree with your sentiment. However, when my friends do play, doing regular rifts puts group play at a disadvantage. Between avarice band, death breath set, rift key set, and more on my follower, I’m actually much worse off doing regular rifts with a group.
