There is a strong difference between soloing a mob with and without clickies.

The use of wort pots alone is a separate category, a clickies category. Maybe can call it the handicap category, heheh.

Why would you not invest in clickies and potions the same way you would gear for soloing? That seems like a no brainer to me. Why would you not capitalize on every advantage to solo progressively more powerful and loot rewarding mobs?

If you have consumables to solo farm fungi tunics, why would you not? Because some jerkoff on the wiki is going to say you handicapped soloed?

Again, because this isn't a tournament. There's no referees, no prize money, nothing: the ONLY benefit you get out of being a solo artist is that you can pat yourself on the back and maybe impress your fellow elf sim addicts.

It's not about anyone defining "soloing means with consumables" or "soloing means without consumables". Both can 100% be challenging in their own ways.

It's just about being on the same page and not having one person mean one thing and another mean a different thing, but both use identical language.

I think this thread lacks contradiction.

My opinion is that soloing mob X is great, but what really matters is "having mob X on farm status solo".

There's a world of difference beween killing, say, Khelkar or seb Emp as a solo enc, and farming him regularly for fun and profit. Simply because you can get the planets properly aligned for that one kill and pull it off against all odds, but it won't happen over and over.
(Still impressed by that solo enc Khelkar kill though...)

I have no issue with any of that. It's a lot more reasonable than this ridiculous argument. If you are buffed, you are not soloing

Picture this

Shaman sees a necro soloing. Decides to spirit of wolf and regen him.

Suddenly the necro is no longer "true soloing". Hes in some weird sub tier of solo. If hes using consumables and clickies, some even consider him handicapped soloing.

Nobody is talking about somebody grinding mobs in OT here, this is obviously concerning "trophy kills." We're talking achievement soloing here, not just regular grinding.
