Everyone who begged me to play back in the beginning has since left the game. And I'm old and cranky; new mates are rare.

In PvP.

More like 95% of the time is solo the rest is weekend guild fun.

I don't consider chatting in TS to be considered grouping. I'm nearly always on TS because my guild is too funny and awesome

I don't play with many people but I do play alongside quite a few. That quick one delve allying with a stranger and then off out without them saying a word (no mic?).

Once I've sorted out a target dummy and then cleaned up my rotation I'll start doing the dungeons, pledges and other properly group stuff. Still a bit of a way off though.

I'm not sure if I answered this correctly. I almost exclusively PvP. I join solo, but then get grouped with matchmaking, or via invites in Cyro. Rarely, if ever, do I go in with a premade group.

Prolly 60-70 of the time
Considering the grouping tool almost nEVER works for me.

60% solo and the rest with my wife or guildies doing raids.

I use TS exclusively for 12 man vet trials, vDSA and a handful of times for vRoM/vCoS HM. There's little advantage in using it outside of content that needs complex coordination. As for text chat I only use that for discussing very specific game related issues: mechanics, gear, builds or asking for supplementary MM price references on trade guilds.

I find these results rather hard to believe. I know of course there are plenty of people who play alone...but 50% of them? Very unlikely. For me, I do play alone...when hunting skyshards and lorebooks, leveling a new toon, etc, or if running vMA, but in the end I spend the majority of my time in PvP, dungeons, trials, or some other play that involves more than just me. Aside from quests and fishing, and decorating, there just isnt that much single player content in this game...especially not after you been playing a year or so in which time you can complete all the single player stuff. Considering trading/buying/selling involves more than one person, you cant even count that.

Sure, totally agreed that it's necessary for raids.

We have all the different 'rooms' set up for all the raids, PvP factions etc.

I just meant from a social aspect.

I was surprised quite a while ago when I found out just how many people played alone in this game. Some cases having 400+ cp and yet had never played with others, done a dungeon or trial. From my point of view, I have always played the game with others, particularly my boyfriend, since we started the game together almost 2 years ago. I loved the group content, but also did all the PVE quests available. Add in guild related activities, and you get a picture of how little solo time I have played.
While I can't imagine how it would have been personally to play all this time solo, I do however understand why some people play like that and prefer it that way.

I'm usually grouped with friends doing quests or dungeons/events with the guild.

Make ESO a single-player game with CREATION KIT, like skyrim, any people you help can join your army to one day be big enough in numbers to defeat the bosses in game.

If I want to play with other people I switch the computer off and go out.

Who still turns off their computer? You are old!

Say that when you start paying the electric bill. If I'm going to be away for a few days, I'll turn the computer off (and wifi) for security. I'll also usually power the computer down during the hotter months of the year to prevent overheating.

Not to mention clearing out the memory and extending the life of the components.

Bout half the time. Spend most my time either questing or raiding.
