BladedMischief✭✭✭Mostly solo. Mainly because I can't use a mic right now to talk to the group. And because I like to stop to take screenshots; and I feel like that would be an issue for a group in situations like Cyrodiil.~We're a community of adventurers. No matter which banner we fight under~0 -
Dapper Dinosaur✭✭✭✭✭I would love nothing more than to be able to complete all of my daily pledges on veteran hard mode by myself in a timely fashion, so I wouldn't have to deal with incompetent teammates and the permanently-broken group finder, but the game is not built to allow that. Instead, I now have to constantly be trying to find capable groups to run normal trials with (hint: you're more likely to find a group of people willing to bungie-jump without a rope) for the weekly reward bags for the transmutation stones, and the pledges are also surprisingly annoying to find groups for even without the groupfinder throwing an instance full error.
Seriously, do people not understand that for just a few hours' worth of normal trials, they can get almost one-third of a transmutation per character? It's ridiculous that even the new transmutation geode rewards are not creating more trial groups because everyone is so tired of running them already.Edited by Dapper Dinosaur on November 20, 2017 10:35AM2 -

✭✭✭✭✭think its 70% solo 30% group but variable from week to week.
Lately it has been mostly solo, CWC and then Orsinium who i'm taking two alts.
During double xp I ran up to 5 group dungeons a day. Afterwards it has been more trials than dungeons

Mix of both. I PVE alone or in a group, and I PVP always in a group.
I usually quest alone, obvious exceptions being Craglorn. When farming lorebooks or clearing delves/dungeons, I tend to sit and watch Netflix as well, or listen to podcasts. Obviously, I do vet Maelstrom alone (but I like being on voice chat with my friend who cheers me on xD).
I love skyshard and lorebook and world boss runs, beats the monotony out of something that'd be otherwise boring. I love trials, both vet and normal. I absolutely love coordinated group-based PVP -- whether it's small- or big-group. I love it when zergs face zergs, it feels like a huge battle going on. xD. And I love it when there's a lot of strategy involved. When I'm feeling like crap I love to just go into PVP and join a group. Gets my heart pumping.
I really dislike the Undaunted grind. xD Pledging on my DPS toons is really annoying, because everyone just needs a tank and a healer and nothing else, usually. I queue in as my tanks and healers on normal (because I'm nervous about vet), or join it on vet with friends. Though until I get my Undaunted up on all of my toons, I'm doing it to grind Undaunted.@dreamsleever in-game and on Twitch

✭✭I'm a dawdler. I firmly subscribe to the notion that "it's not the destination, it's the journey" which seems to drive rather a lot of fellow gamers nuts.
Harvest, explore, work on achievements, craft, chat with friends and guildies, quest etc. I'm in no hurry to advance because at some point, you run out of content and are left with (shudder) "raiding" or PvP neither of which interest me much.

And that's why a wise dev house will create content to suit both the soloers and those for whom grouping is a must.

Except 50/50 means they don't "mostly" either one. So the most you can do is divide the 50/50's by half. Neither group can lay claim to the full 50/50's count.I've been muted since November 2017 because of the whiny crybabies on this forum and the liberal ZOS employees coddling them.0 -

Enslaved✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭Id say 50/50, since gathering materials and crafting is not really a group thing. Also, when I quest around various zones I tend to do it solo. When I'm doing dungeons or PvP, I do it in a group, since I cant do veteran content solo, and solo PvP is not enjoyable as small scale or full raids are.1 -

People that say 50/50 and mostly grouping are 34, people that say no grouping at all, and little grouping mostly is 35. Math is right. Get over it. Funny how I make a poll about whether the game is too easy , just right or too hard and we came to the conclusion that it is about , -about- even split, with a slight majority for too easy, and in this it is clear that aobut 50% of the participants enjoy grouping in one way or form along with solo, and about 50% enjoy soloing mostly, and SOMEHOW it is a MASS majority who love soloing only , when it is only winning by 1 person. Sorry, not sorry, but it is clear that a lot enjoy grouping AND a lot enjoy soloing.Edited by Jade1986 on November 20, 2017 11:57AM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Like I said in the other post, there is a middle ground. There is room for both solo and group play.
This still doesn't mean you should be entitled to every reward because you only play one way.
Your other post asked why ZOS locked rewards behind group activity when most play solo. This poll could be 100% solo players...still doesn't mean ZOS isn't right to put rewards behind group activity.
Of course leveling, questing, and most normal dungeons can be solo'ed. It would be ridiculous to say it isn't. That still doesn't mean you should get the reward if you fail to meet the requirements laid out by ZOS...in this case using the activity finder tool.
I don't understand what this is trying to prove beyond "I only play this way so I should have a way to get everything" entitled BS.
No game hands out rewards if you don't meet the requirement to earn that reward.Edited by Kel on November 20, 2017 12:11PM1 -

33 like mostly solo, and five only like solo. So in the group of MOSTLY soloing you have 38
12 Mostly group and 25 it is 5050 split ( which would count to enjoying both aspects of the game, which includes grouping ), that is 37.
So the group of mostly only soloing is 38, and those who enjoy soloing AND grouping is 37. You cannot include the people who enjoy both equally in the group of ONLY enjoying solo. It doesnt work that way because then you would be excluding the fact that they enjoy grouping too.
Again, it is clear that the majority of players enjoy BOTH solo AND group content. And I have said that from the get go, that the majority of people enjoy a mix of both questing solo, and group content. Personally I am part of the " enjoys both " category and I would def. not like to be included into your interpretation to say I enjoy solo over grouping. Grouping is just as important to me as solo play.
AND FURTHERMORE the category of ONLY grouping is just dumb because there are parts of this game that can ONLY be done solo. So you are forced out of a group even if you did only want to play grouped.Edited by Jade1986 on November 20, 2017 12:14PM1 -

dennissomb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭It has changed over time. In the early days it was far more solo since I was focused more on leveling, questing, and general actions towards gathering and completing skill lines etc. Now that the game has matured I spend a majority of time in small groups for PvP and some dungeon runs0

No. The way you are interpreting it, and we all know it, is you are trying to prove that people enjoy solo over grouping more. And with the 5050 crowd that is not the case, we enjoy both equally. So you cannot include us into your solo-centric group. We belong with the group who enjoys mostly grouping and a little solo. As it is clear that we enjoy both aspects, and find both important. Your poll is BIAS AF. If you wanted to make it more accurate it should have read.
What content is important to you.
Solo only

So basically, you're trying to accuse me of rigging the poll, while you rig the poll?
Am I understanding you correctly?
50/50's don't count toward solo players but count toward grouping? When they should in fact be spread evenly to both, since that's what 50/50 means. There is no "mostly" in a 50/50.
The only bias being shown in this whole thread is yours.
I said I believe solo is more than group. However, the poll has been done fairly and can't be manipulated , so I think maybe you should stop trying to? I'm willing to accept whatever the poll shows, why aren't you?
