Re: Solo players "plaguing" the genre?
The numbers have changed a bit since I 1st saw the poll a few days ago. The solo numbers are actually dropping a bit now from where they were.
Even so, it shows a full half of the players mostly solo or duo. And I can't say that I'm surprised. Soling is pretty easy since they added more solo mobs. Most quests can be done in relatively short order and give a nice 3-5% xp bump too. In the last 2 days I've gotten my monk from 31 to 35 all solo.
Additionally, most duo's can take on yellow-con heroic content. Some duo's "multiply force" better than others, so I do qualify that with the "most" word. Even so. . .soloing is easy, and you can do yellow heroic stuff in a duo. Why bother getting a full group together? It's a lot easier to find 1 person than 5, plus you have a much better chance of getting the good loot when it's a 50% chance vs a 16% chance
Frankly I'm surprised that the solo/duo numbers are as low as they are.
