    No one is forcing you to do it in a group, do a achievement msa group champion instead the normal so that people can see that some have done it group not solo

    Sigh. Where do you draw the line? What if some people still can't do it grouped? Make it a raid event? I've seen groups struggle at dolmens. Should vMA be easy enough for them to complete it?

    The "Make everything easy" attitude is destroying online games like it destroyed many single player games. Why do you people even play games? Are they like virtual cartoons to you? Should they involve no problem solving or thought at all?

    Just follow the waypoint arrow and enjoy the show? Is that what a game is?

    It's not "make everything easy" attitude, its "make grind a bit less boring" attitude. For me anyway.
    I have "flawless conqueror" title, and getting weekly every week. So its not like I cant beat it :) I dont even think its that hard, but if you want weapons, its just hours of hermit-style grind that makes me feel claustrophobic. So I would love an optional 2-man mode, even without leaderboards.
    P.S. Also, 2 people mode doesnt mean that mob stats, numbers and mechanic timers should stay the same...

    "You said that if we allow A to happen, then Z will eventually happen too, therefore A should not happen.

    The problem with this reasoning is that it avoids engaging with the issue at hand, and instead shifts attention to extreme hypotheticals. Because no proof is presented to show that such extreme hypotheticals will in fact occur, this fallacy has the form of an appeal to emotion fallacy by leveraging fear. In effect the argument at hand is unfairly tainted by unsubstantiated conjecture."

    I've never completed vMA and I feel like I'll never be able to, but please stop with this group thing.

    It was made to be done solo, deal with it guys.

    I do not believe the majority of players who would like it to be made easier through one method or another have the same POV as you.

    IMO, the item grind is a completely separate issue. Obtaining weapons can be made less grindy without adjusting the content. I think half the problem here is the lack of proper endgame content to distribute the grind across different types of events and environments.

    I happen to think that a single player endgame instance in an MMO is counter-intuitive and a poorly conceived concept. However, it's already implemented and is a fun and rewarding experience. I think the experience of this event should be maintained without watering it down by making it easier or allowing groups.

    I'd love duo mode but can't see it happening. Now you can save in VMSa, I started my first proper attempt today (not all of us have hours in one shot for these kinds of things) got to the boss of the 3rd arena, had a few deaths, got a little annoyed, will try again next time I have a spare half hour. I think duo mode would make it more fun but reward should be lesser, perhaps v15 weapons Max.
