What is everyone opinion on the gaming forcing you into grouping for content?

I'm good with it, personally. But I don't like it being mandatory for all content, particularly gathering. Unfortunately, that's the way Steven wants to go. It's just... Am I supposed to ask my group to just hang around and watch me, if their own gathering specialization is different and not applicable to the area? If I don't, getting ganked and robbed is all but guaranteed, tomorrow if not today. If I do, what's the fun part for them ?

At the same time, if you make it more efficient, and make it better for bosses, particularly the more interesting ones, that's great. But we should still have solo options. Does that mean some players will focus exclusivity on those? Yes, always. But giving duos and trios, or even soloers something to do seems important to me. If my friends get off work an hour later than me, should I really just not play? There's always going to be group/coordination downtime. I feel like it's better to give people something to do then other than log off because it's not worth spending 15 minutes organizing a pick-up group, or traveling to meet them, when you've only got 45 minutes of downtime.

It is required.

And as others said, there's obviously gotta be some soloable content, and ideally smth to do for your group if you're doing high value solo content that's gonna attract attention.

Yes, this would be a rewardless action. But for Dygz reward is the content and the cooperation, which is why he'd be mostly fine with getting nothing for a good thing done.
