I still group on occasion, it's not that. But when in a group, I tend
to be at the mercy of the group leader, who decides where we go and
what we do. Most of the time, they have something specific in mind,
like a certain drop somewhere, or lots of plat, or uber xp (Like
Noble's Causeway). What I like to do is just go somewhere and
explore. I've started the Slipgem quest in CC, but to do that solo is
suicide in the first degree when it comes to some of the higher end
zones from Depths of Darkhollow, but so far, it's been fun. Over the
past several months, I've made it a point to go to zones I've never
been to and try my hand at playing there. To me, that's more fun than
grinding out xp in a plat hungry group (which I tend to find more
often than not).

I have been in a couple of guilds (I'm on the Povar server), one of
which was run by an immature, clueless person, and one that just
didn't have the membership to support higher end groupage. I have a
core group of people I met in my first guild, but with the invent of
monster missions, they have chosen to chain play those, which is
boring to me. I've done a few, but the same one for 8 hours straight?
Not me. Anyway, thanks for the information and I'll see what I can do.
