If you want proof, look no further than this very thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All that I am saying is, if we as a community "standardized" things, then we'd never have Person A saying "I soloed ___" and actually meaning "I soloed it without potions or other players", and Person B saying literally the exact same thing ("I soloed ___") ... but when they say it they mean "I soloed it with buffs from other players and five puppet strings".

It's not about anyone needing to do anything, it's just about understanding your fellow poster and not getting into fights because a word meant something different to them.
I hear you. I guess I'm way out of the solo artist loop. I assumed without some buffs and consumables some mobs are just not possible. To me it seems obvious. If you are going to go after X mob and it's either a requirement or extremely helpful to have Y, that's what you are going to do. I never wouldve imagined there is a real community that considers a buffed player not soloing.
