Should players be able to choose whether an instance is public, group, or solo?

Basically, my suggestion is this: Upon interacting with a door and holding down E (or whatever you have it mapped to), one of those beautiful circle menus that we all love will show, with three options, public, group, or solo. The player can then choose whether they want to go into that area with random people, with their group, or all alone. This will solve the issues players have with either wanting to group with only a select few people, or not wanting to group at all, and give players the choice to try dungeons or quests solo.

I think this could give the player base some new content as well, since they can now go back to dungeons they've completed and try running them solo. If someone wants to try to solo Spindleclutch, I say let them!

But enough about what I say. What does the community have to say about this?

Yes, we should be able to choose how we're instanced.

    While I think scaling and implementing this might take some time, in the long run it would worth it. But make it possible for delves too please!

    Having more options would hurt nobody. When playing alts, I am always forced to find a random group to do all the instances since my friends are on veteran levels already and I don't want to bother them with instances of my numerous alts. I'd rather do them solo, as finding the random group usually takes time and has varying results, especially on the lvl 43 dungeons.

    The more open an MMO is, the better.

    I'd personally see an end to all instancing, but ZOS have designed a good compromise that I can live with and enjoy.

    As long as it includes the Main Quest and Fighters and Mages Guild quests as well.
