Whether you are farming for that illusive dungeon gear or perhaps grinding away in Skyreach; we all know the pain of waiting for instances to reset.

You might think, easy just have someone else afk in the group and toggle dungeon difficulty.
But alas young padawan, that is not always possible for prolonged periods of time.
Not to mention the anxiety of having someone able to see your loot and silly deaths can take quite a toll on the average grinder.

The solution? Play with yourself.
NB: There is about 1 minute required for someone to act as a middle-man but afterwards they are free to leave. Also requires at least 1 alt toon (level doesn't matter)

Step 1: Log into your mule/random toon
Step 2: Grab a guildy or a random from zone into your group. If you have no friends like me, offer them 500-1k gold for 1 minute of their time. Or quid-pro-quo if you are both in a similar situation.
Step 3: Logout of your alt toon and into your main/desired toon
Step 4: Have them reinvite you back into the group, afterwhich they are free to leave
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit

Congratulations, you are now playing - or rather grouped with yourself.
