I’m not saying this system is nearly as bad as anything in SL. What I’m saying is that, even though this is WAY better, it’s still not fun. I would like to be fun. That’s all.
I’ve done it both ways. No doubt that solo sucks. As a guardian druid, it takes like 12 mins to kill some of those rares solo. Very not fun lol. I find doing them in large groups boring also though. And even in large groups, it’s just boring, and still takes a few hours to collect enough keys to open everything in the vault.
