Shared Topic: One vs Many? (Solo vs Party Questing)

Perish Twice of Dual Boxing & Death gave us this really cool question:

While there are some quests that specifically call for grouping, most don't... but do you group anyway? How many of you pick up a friend or guildie to quest with and how many grind the lonely roads alone?

Back in my starting days if you found a group quest you darn well knew to avoid it if you weren't a group.  All it took was a bit of sense and the rewards made the extra effort worth it.

Impressions are Important

When you join a group, Pick up Group or not, or want to join a guild several things can help or hurt your chances for success.

1: Say Hello

Hello from the Forge of Souls

A genuine hello make strangers more comfortable with you and makes you more approachable.  This can shift a group from antiseptic strangers into something far more companionable even if little else is said.  A group that is more comfortable fights better and if mistakes happen doesn't freak out as much.  When looking to join a guild start off by saying hello and asking if the person has time to talk with you.
