Ok i have made tka 1/1/3/1 in one day and alot of credits doing quenker missions by myself, not grouped. I get around2500 xp per quenker without being in a solo group. How much more would i get being in a group, not to mention i would be splitting my mission reward.

If the group difficulty level is high enough, more creatures will spawn from lower level lairs. So instead of getting 2 or 3 quenkers per lair wave. If it is a large enough solo group that same quenker lair will have 4 or 5 spawns per wave.
That said, most people do solo groups either for:
- Money(it only splits if a group member is relatively close to you)
- Resource farming(like getting rancor missions when carnivore meat is good, etc)
- Force Sensitive and Jedi xp grinding(when you want as high a cl creature as you can handle)
I personally hate solo groups myself. I think it is a silly concept and really is just people working the system. If you are going to group, work together as a group.

when you are in a solo group you get something like 3188 xp per quenker that you kill.

you can get mokk or janta missions... they pay better, you get better xp, they die just as quickly and they give good loot... i got 6 identical janta blood and 3 crystals in the last 2 days... and i haven't done more than like 10 missions...

You also get stunned, blinded, dizzied, knocked down, and intimidated. Not to mention nasty DOT's on occasion, and plenty of bleeds stacked on you. At your level, you might want to stay away from Janta/Mokk/Kunga/Dantari missions. They could prove to be too much for you. They are do-able, but they will prove to be much more difficult than the quenker/piket missions you're running now.

No problem if you are doctor and entertainer buffed. I do them with no armor.. Target the lair and spam spin attack 2. Over in about 30 sec, rinse and repeat.

I have done janta and so on missions since i was unarmed 4.... the dizzy+kd happens, but it's not bad... just spam "Stand" then they don't attack as much... the blind and so on, virtually makes no difference, just takes a little longer, and they only stack bleeds, i got 2000 medic for that... so i do janta and such missions... now i'm 0032 TKA... that's 2 buff sessions or so...

i have to agree with Utess to a point.
in a way it really is nothing more than people working the system.
that having been said, i am a solo player. i have been since i started playing on day two. no guilds, no hunting in groups. just solo.
after a year of play, i began to feel punished for liking the solo life style. i understand this is an mMorpg, but that does not mean i should be left out of 75% of the game for wanting to play a 'zabrak-with-a-grudge' type character in game.
solo groups not only allow me to expereince MUCH MUCH MUCH more of the game, but they allow solo players like myslef to pad their bank accounts for up coming events like JTL.
so yes, in a way we are working the system, but i am only working the system because i have not been given the opportunity to profit from roll playing the character i want to play

WE kind of have to be solo grouped.Why would you group up with 20 people and go out and hunt something that only takes 1 person to kill. If the game actually made missions that required more then and /afk macro spamming attacks to finish, then you would see less solo groups. And the only way to get those lvl 99 missions, which are a joke, is to solo group. It's not "working" the system, just finding something "to do" in the system. Imagine getting the millions of xp required for padawan splitting your xp 20 different ways. It would take you years. It's not to lonely either with group/guild chats to keep you company.

I don't belive I have ever been intimidated or blinded when doing Janta missions.

I like solo-groups cause it's the only way to get stuff to spawn anymore.
On Eclipse, most of the planets are so packed, you can't find random creature spawns anymore and if you do you only find the low end stuff that yields no XP.
They are also the only way to really make money, unless you're a crafter, or a template specifically designed to find loot for your entire life. But there's nothing wrong with running a solo-group an hour a day, and making cash. In my opinion at least.
The only way they could fix that, is by adding real loot credits anyone can find, not "You loot 37 credits..."
