Simple question so no further explanation needed.

While i do group stuff with people in general, this is very minimal part of play for me. I do love to do stuff with good people i like and play in similar fashion that i do.

I´ll just explain my reasons.

iver the years, MMORPG playerbase and community has gone worse every year. Too many are rude and slightes mistake is often a reason for kick or name calling. Sometimes if you are too slow, you will not be waited. Playing in groups is often too competitive and too performance oriented, even while the actual task is done but you seem to be behind in damage or whatever, people will not care about that but the only thing that seems to matrter too often is that the one player was behind other players. People are actually forced to play certain builds to be any good in forced groups since while any build can do it, only thing that usually seems to matter is the performance, dont you dare to play the build you love if it lacks in DPS or anything else. You will be called slacker, noob and what ever name yuou come by simply because you wished to play certain type of character instead the incredible machine other used.

Real issue is that most of the forced group content there is, is left untouched by many because they either have to face the playerbase above or try do find a group that really consist of players that you like or care about immersion, story or just watching the actual scenery of stuff that developers made. Since it is too hard to play with players that really are to your liking, you end up doing just minimal part of the content there is.

I think everyone should have the right to experience all content the way they wish, this is why every part of content in my opinion should be doable by yourself and if in group, with increased challenge depending on group size/difficulty setting. Rewards should also wary depending to the style you do the part of content. Not better for any lot but different by looks and/or stats that better fit certain playstyle.
