Soloing is still super viable even as a warrior.

There is also a ton of attrition of good players who just don't want to put up with stupid groups in the tank department. I posted before on this but tanks are the most important members of your group nexto healers and pullers, so listen to them and treat them with tender love and respect, and if they suck teach them, don't let them get away with crappy habbits.

Furthermore those good players just roll a druid or mage and twink a tank for their guild later on, or have friends in a guild who just plvl them to 50.

But by no means do you even need a tank to get to 50 with any class or group combinations in this game, tanks are for dungeons, and even then you can do stuff like CT gators with just a mage and healer. So try duoing more. or Trios'

i approve of this message. Grouping and raiding to me, are situations that require someone to step up and lead, often the puller, often the tank, sometimes the healer. If you find that your tank is disatisfied with some group functionality, pay attention. If they're wrong, teach them.

EverQuest is what you make of it - be proactive communicating with your group and raid, be proactive getting your group together and if you aren't, don't cry when things don't go well. Back in the day, as a rogue leveling up (in 2000), I'd for real send tells to every class I wanted in my group that was online @ an appropriate level range and either in my zone or obviously not camping something with a different group.
