For the risk.
I like having to depend on myself to pull through. To try and have all the bases covered. To do things that not a lot of people have done or do or will do in general. I am not really into raiding as it is mostly superficial bullshit to me. To me raiding is about standing around EC tunnel and having people "marvel" at your items. I would rather someone marvel at how well I am able to pull something off technically than some pixels I won at a raid. It seems that in this game though, vanity is the ultimate objective. Also, I generally like to play in a way where I am not bothering other players and ideally they aren't bothering me. I typically try to accomplish the latter by just going to places that most people can't get to easily or won't even try to get to.
I try to group but the main issue I have with grouping is there aren't a lot of players that want to risk anything. I think this is because a lot of people just (maybe) have limited time to play, and they don't want to spend 60% of their playtime traveling and doing corpse runs. This is why I love soloing. I can go solo, and fuck up, over and over and eventually (hopefully) come out on top at some point. And at this point, it is like I mastered the content and it is time to farm and then look for the next place to go.
Sorry if this is offensive.
