Nice comments.
A lot of what you say is tied to grouping or guilds.
Have you played ESO or what?? I wonder how friendly its grouping system is. For example, how hard is it to get a group going? What happens if someone AFK's or isn't the right level or is gimp?
If games could make grouping more convenient like soloing it'd be a lot better.

I've been testing ESO yeah but I haven't grouped. There's no real need to at the lower levels, but you do have to group to do some of the dungeons.
In EQ I wound up preferring to solo when I could, partly because spending time lfg was annoying and partly because even though guilds helped with grouping it was equally annoying to have to schedule time to play because of a scheduled raid or whatever (this is not unique to EQ. Every MMO so far has been like this). No way will I EVER schedule specific times to play a videogame. If I have time and feel like it I'll play. I'm not going to schedule time to play at 9 PM PST to raid a dungeon with the guild; if I'm on I'm on and if not oh well. Maybe I just want to watch TV then or want to play something else.
I like the freedom to do what I want and go AFK when I want. Can't do that so easily when you're always required to group or certain content has set times you have to be there for. Then it starts interfering with real life, even if only in a small way.
