confirmed idiot.
EQ is a solo game as well as a grouping game. Soloing classes usually have a hard time finding groups where as shitty solo classes usually excel in getting groups (aside from rangers).
The only class that is both good at soloing and has great potential for groups is an Enchanter (should also be necro's but people hate them for odd reasons).
Also, I find it much more rewarding and fun not having to play with 5 incompetent retards that I have to rely on to progress. I'd rather solo dungeon camps and take all the risk myself than the alternative (unless i'm playing with 5 other people as good as I am).
Edit: the thing about Grouping classes. They are usually more desirable in raid settings and high level camps ( Seb Shroom king etc. ) where as necros, mages, druids really aren't desirable for much other than basic utilities. In overall balance of the game, I think it's pretty even. soooo
STFU and stop crying.

Sorry, wrong. People didn't have the "solo" mentality that they do now. That thought process is thanks to modern MMOs who have streamlined the leveling aspect of the game to allow for broader appeal. Classic EQ was primarily a group game.
You COULD solo on a few classes but it was not the preferred method of playing for most people. That's not to say that people didn't solo, but remember that live EQs population was dramatically higher than on P99. There was much more competition for camps and mobs, and in that case groups won out over solo 9 times out of 10.
