Yes, it was, unfortunately...and that is the sole purpose of "twinking" an alt. Because, everybody knows that soloing is much faster if you know what you are doing.

And there is a big part of the issue... twinking. If you are level 5 with level 40 gear, there is no point in grouping. You're taking nearly no damage and killing non-stop. Why would you bother with a group. Even with a minimal amount of twinking, if you know all the quirks and secrets of the game (as a larger percentage of players do), you can play the system to level faster as a solo than you can in a group.

I prefer having regular partners. I don't like random groups and soloing is boring. I only do it if Im trying to work up a skill or learn a trade or something that would be a drag for someone else to slog through with me. The game really is a lot more fun if you're with a bunch of buddies.
