Twinks that won't group

[Bwils]

i play my twink when i only have less then an hour to play so i solo. People get more mad when you group with them then leave shortly. This thread should be in rant and flames

Exp calculations on p99 are fucking terrible btw, and it's pretty easy to test.

We had three iksar necros, all the same level, so equal penalties. PL from 31 to 32 took like maybe 30 minutes. Duo'd the next two from 31 to 32, took like 2 hours. Tried trio'ing them from 32 to 33 and got about 2 yellows in 3 hours before I just stopped. I imagine it only gets worse.

Test it yourself if you'd like. Groups are where exp goes to die on p99.

I have a 30sk twinked to the teeth a I have not been in a group yet...

Exp is super fast (even with penalty) and I also have not died since lvl 1!

I can go fd/afk whenever I need to, I dont have to worry about having to be on the ball every second I play. Thats the playstyle I like and others do too. Deal with it.

I think that soloing is faster xps for me (cleric non-twink). But you need to get a good soloing spot and have your technique down right. And soloing does allow you to AFK more to do real-life things.

Downsides are though:
1. Alot of time spent sitting down medding, which is really pretty boring.
2. Not very sociable, you can't talk to group mates.
3. Boring as you are doing the same thing to the same few mobs.
4. Can't go to interesting places or camp interesting things.
5. One dimensional.
6. Don't build up grouping skills (how do I interact with various other classes, what synergies can I develop, how do I work as part of a team).

If I have the time, I think it is better to group and I can understand the frustration of a non-twink having a hard time to get xp whenever the twinks are soloing all around them.
But ultimately its the choice of the player to group or solo
