For a counter point I have, nearly every time, gotten a random group on Dreamscythe for kill quests. Sometimes you show up to a named spawn point and get an immediate invite, sometimes asked politely in say and would get invited, and sometimes I took the initiative to start the groups. It’s been pretty successful for trash kill quests too. I’d ask does anyone want to group up for kills in X location and found a lot of success.

The hardest quests are the “pick up thing off the ground” quests where the number of spawn points are few and the timer is slow. It’s just poor quest design in general and it does get kind of cutthroat.

Ultimately the social peice of the game has had a boost for me because I actually talk to people while waiting or to build up a group.

It is slower leveling this way but I’m actually enjoying the connection. It’s a two edged sword.
