Does AGS hate solo players this much? What’s so wrong about wanting to play by myself sometime? Does every single thing have to be forced into group content? Does AGS think zerging elite areas with 50+ people is more enjoyable than running around solo and finding clever ways to loot chests without pulling aggro? I really don’t get the idea behind these changes.
My guild runs their daily elite chest route when I’m at work so most of the time, I can’t run elite chests with them. This used to not be such a big deal because while slower, I could still run most elite areas solo. Now, however, it seems like AGS wants all of their solo players to just quit the game.
My only recourse is to scour recruitment chat and hope to find a public group with enough people to be able to clear elite areas, but even on a populated server, it’s not that easy.
