Umm, Krayt dragons were never meant to be soloed. And why does everyone want to be able to solo everything in this game? I'm all for a good balance of solo vs. group content, but some things should never be soloable, and Krayts are included in this.
Maybe, because we dont want to play with you. I noticed that the people that bring up this subject are playing with templates that they "enjoy" playing but know they cannot solo the big names in the game and dont want to switch templates. It's the price you have to pay.
Um, sorry, but you are WRONG!! I do plenty of group things, as well as solo things, andI can solo the big names in the game, so you are all up in the kool aid without knowing the flavor. My point would be that these "big names" SHOULDN'T be soloable, but should be something you need a GROUP to take on. This game was a lot more fun back in the beginning when you needed to get a group up to hit these high end mobs. Now it's just boring.
I love people watching me solo a giant Krayt and asking me to join the "happy go lucky-inadequate" group.No help needed.
The game wasn't fun to me back a year ago when we needed groups as I dont like to deal with people who dont know what they are doing. If i make an error its all my fault.

Am i wrong just because I dont play "your style"?. That is just your opinion, nothing more nothing less. I have never seen a "soloer" say people that group are wrong. We just dont like to deal with the hassle of splitting loot etc. BTW I dont think it's boring the way I play, thats my opinion. To you it is. Not me.

OK, maybe you should go back and reread your post, then reread my response. Nothing was said about my play style or anyone elses. I simply said thathigh end mobs should not be soloable. PERIOD! So, you're not wrong because you don't play "my style". My style was never brought up, and I would never go so far as to say my way, or anyone's way for that matter, is the only way or right way. You are wrong because you wrote:
"Maybe, because we dont want to play with you. I noticed that the people that bring up this subject are playing with templates that they "enjoy" playing but know they cannot solo the big names in the game and dont want to switch templates. It's the price you have to pay."
You implied that I was playing a template that wasn't able to solo a Krayt, and was unwilling to change my template to do so. The truth is, I am playing a template that I ENJOY and CAN SOLO a Krayt, but my reason for choosing my template was for FUN, the soloing part is just a bonus. You also implied that anyone who brought this subject up was the same way. So in essence, YOU are the one who is criticizing others whose style of playing isn't yours. Which, to quote you again, "is just your opinion, nothing more nothing less".
You also wrote "I love people watching me solo a giant Krayt and asking me to join the "happy go lucky-inadequate" group.No help needed." It just couldn't possibly be that they wanted to hang out with you, get to know you and have some fun, could it? Oh no, if they want to join you, they MUST be inadequate, and must be forced to stand to the side and be oh so in awe of your awesome 1337-ness. The fact that you get such a joy out of having people watch you, ask to join you so you can say no speaks volumes of your sad, pathetic need for attention and power-tripping. In that light, I can see why you didn't want to group in the beginning, you were probably the one f*cking it up for the rest of the group.
The ONLY thing I can agree with you on your last post is that yeah, grouping sucks when you're with someone who doesn't know what they're doing. ESPECIALLY if one is so inclined to believe they are OH SO MUCH BETTER, and are unwilling to impart some advice or help to whoever is "screwing up" the group.
In the end, my suggestion would be to read what the poster is saying, and THINK, for probably a good, oh say, 10 minutes, before hitting the reply button. You may just have enough time to digest what a person is saying before you open your mouth and stick your foot in.

Well the main reason is simple. The loot system really sucks my ass. A krayt pearl just doesn't split 15 **edit**ing ways. That is you actually loot anything worth a **edit** off the things you kill anyway.
Fix the loot system so that NPC's and creatures that have a +100 difficulty rating always drop something useful of value and that the same item or items looted get's distributed to all group members within 100m of the kill and everything will be as it should be.
As it sits now buffs and armor aren't ruining the game the loot system is. This is the reason why we all want to fly solo not just because we can.
If there were such things as Krayt Dragons in Real Life and if there were such things as T21 Rifles and Lightsabers and such I could solo a Krayt Dragon lmao. With a little practice of course you could kill pretty much anything that comes at you with a lightsaber if it really existed. But thank heaven this isn't real life or that would mean SOE is god and is running the show.
Bottom line = Fix the loot system and all will be as it should be. Ordinary casual players will be able to get their hands on the finest of loot due to the saturated market, people will group up all the time now because the concern with looting rights and "who gets the loot" questions all go out the window. Make all the NPC's that are +100 difficulty always drop something. I'm not talking about always drop legendary weapons but something craftable. Like JetPack Pieces, Krayt Tissue, Ackaly Bones, Gorax Shard, Schematics (geo, Energy lance, DE-10), AA, CA's, etc.. let them all drop something good and it will increase the supply lowering price and will increase the demand for good crafters and such which will help newer players break into a mature market.
It's **edit**ing simple fix the loot and many many problems and complaints of this game will go away.

The reason why people want to solo krayts is because of the loot, say you're with a goup of 10 people and you loot a pearl? who gets it? what if 5 of the people want to keep it and 5 want to sell it? that's why people want to solo krayts, so they don't have those problems
To Viluin and Pvt, you are both absolutely right, and I agree with you both 100%. I was actually enquiring about the mindset that one should pWn everything in-game. And I only group with my guild when we go loot hunting, because we actually have a system that we all feel is fair. Obviously it doesn't work when everyone in the group is out for themselves
