I've always been a big solo player ever since i started MMOs. The allure was more for a world I could lose myself in rather than playing with others. Problem is, designers don't see it that way, and I was always on the poor end of gear.

Eventually I considered a pocket healer, but it never went as well as i would have liked. Eventually got got the point of three hunters in WoW while i bashed 3 keyboards. Then I read about Xzin and how he was pulling it off. Thought wireless keyboard recievers was a good idea, and did 5 hunters. Met Ellay after getting trounced in a few bgs, BC came out and I started a group from scratch based on a multiclass pve group. Worked out pretty well for a while. Now I can't play an mmo without boxing. Not that I don't hop on solo every now and then, but it's a constant reminder of how annoying other players can be, and the drama of guilds and so on.

I find at this point I just prefer to go it alone now, killing my own bosses, running my own dungeons, and so on. Just saves so much time and effort on my part and others to just run like that.
