hi guys, i like the pvp but if i cant find a group or want to play solo i get barely any xp or AP.

 

the other problem i have with groups are people telling  me what to do all day.

    Welcome to the days of mass-pvp in a confined area (it's practically an arena on a HUGE map with several objectives). I so miss the days of Lineage II where you could just walk around the continent and pick a fight with just every one you liked (or rather disliked :p).

    i thought gw2 WvW had a good model, you could go to a commander icon find the zerg and still get good xp and karma without being in a group,

    GW2 model indeed was a bit better, but still, without a group the XP/karma sucked balls. And in a group you had to keep up or die :(

    I'm basically no fan of faction PvP to start with and PvP maps like ESO, GW2 and LotRo are just huge arenas. I'd have more fun playing any arena shooter than get frustrated on XP on those large PvP maps.

    While solo PVP is often possible in those types of games, i think the OP will have to accept that the focus is really on larger numbers being involved, storming a keep on your own is liable to end badly no matter how good you may be as a player, so in order to take part, i think a certain amount of compromise is in order, although if the OP really cannot handle being in groups where the leader is someone else, then i would suggest that team based games are probably not their thing, and given that ESO's strongest feature is its campaigns, and the group based activities involved in them, that perhaps overcoming this handicap will prove more fulfilling in the long run, than shying away from them presently does.

    Remember, before you can lead, you must first follow, old proverb perhaps, but relevant to so many things.image

    I know sypher and he is the first to say he gets crap AP compared to groups.

    Any graphical, audio, or gameplay restrictions not seen in other mmos but found in FFXIV can be blamed on one thing.

    I don't really like soloing as in my opinion MMO's are supposed to be team/guild based. Of course it shouldn't be forced and be balanced between hunting and zerging.
