omg so #triggered
If you read any inflection in text it's all in your head; I was just listing out the cons. The changes are unsavory but I can always go ungrouped or look for workarounds.
Because I get waypoints to the exact type of creatures I want to kill, and random lairs don't drop money. Equipment doesn't grow on trees.
Sure, but why would you want to gamble on getting a drop you want against 9 people you don't know on missions you could easily solo? If you're out with friends it's a completely different story.
I'll keep that in mind. I think I went out there the first day I started playing and I hadn't really touched general or auction chats. I was expecting fewer players to be there than live, but I was shocked that there was not a single other person in /who range.
