You’re hidden away soloing undead, /anon, unguilded and refusing to assist corpse runs - sounds like you’ve already ostracised yourself?
That's not accurate really. I leveled the Cleric in like 2020? Early 2021? I think? Because I remember the Capitol Riot things happening and arguing with someone in the EC Tunnel around that same time period. I found it kind of insane that I never got group invites as a Cleric, but at the same time, I didn't really hate it. I read about Clerics who had solo'd to high level, and kind of saw it as a challenge.

I remember doing the scarecrows in West Karana to 20. Once I hit 20, I went to Unrest and solo'd a lot of the stuff on the 1st and 2nd floor. Occasionally I would get groups while doing this.

Once I got high enough level, I think it was 25? When the lowest level halfling Guard stopped resisting my spells and this was back when Halfling Guards respawned every 6 minutes or so. I basically AFK farmed them until I could no longer stand it. I think I left at level 35? But I had made enough plat from selling their spears that I was able to buy some wisdom gear, and then went to Unrest and solo'd Hag Tower to 40 in like a single day. That experience was insane.

Then I began the mind numbing AFK farming of spectres in Feerrott. While doing this, I would frequently have people messaging me asking me to go down to Lower Guk and resurrect them, and I'm not the type of person who says no easily. I will help any player who is in distress. So I did end up going ANON to avoid that after a bit. I also think I got burned once because someone asked me to run to City of Mist for a group, and then logged off after I finally got out there. I think the same thing happened with Splitpaw in my mid 30s, but the memories are hazy.

This is why I picked Shaman as my class. Being a Necro is lonely, but Shamans can solo or heal, so I like having the option to do both. Like my Shaman was able to go South Karana and solo Treants, Gnolls, Aviaks etc. while occasionally finding Splitpaw groups in between. If I had been a Cleric, I wouldn't have been able to do much other than sit LFG for days, possibly weeks etc. so I just think Shaman is a better class who someone who wants to play with other people, but is also aware of the fact that they will often times have to play this game solo.

I also don't know how easy it would be to level a Cleric solo to 50 now that they nerfed Halfling guards. I mean if you are a total twink, it might not be a big deal, but I actually really needed the plat from those guards to get enough Wisdom to not go OOM trying to kill a single mob, lol. My Cleric is a Gnome so his wisdom is fairly low.
