So I went into Banished Cells for the first time this last Beta. This wasn't my first Beta I just have been playing on a lot of alts. At first I went in alone as I have done with most of my Beta experience seeing as how bad the grouping ui is right now. Not only is there no choice of what group you join, I found I had to reboot every time I joined or left a group to make it work and no a /reloadui wouldn't fix the issues. Anyway that's not what this post is about and yes I know it is beta so hopefully that is a non issue.

I found that alone I could get through the mobs with little issue. The toon I took through there was a Tempest archer. Alone I was able to draw the mobs one at a time and if they actually made it to me they would be low enough on HP my Aedric spear moves would finish them off. When I got to the boss' however I was wishing I had some friends to help me out. So I joined a group.

After getting randomly distributed I got thrown in with a group of people that talked like they knew the quest and had done it before but they seemed to bring little DPS or personal defense so they naturally blamed me the healer for letting them die despite spamming heals at them. Funny thing is I found when I didn't heal and just helped kill the group seemed to last longer and kill more mobs. Yes I know this is the beat to death cry of an MMO healer but I just wanted everyone to know it is going to follow us here too. So on to my questions.

1. Does the difficulty of a mob/boss increase with the more members you have in your party?

2. What was changed in the agro mechanics that made me unable to pull one mob at a time when in a group? Was it just because they wouldn't back off enough?

3. I am looking for a guild to join when this thing goes live. I want to group who will play together and spend about the same amount of time pvping as they do in pve. A group that works quests from the lowest level available up and does all quests. Large enough to fill a large group during eastern and central prime time and to have a bank and store. If I have to join 2 guilds to fill this that is fine as well but I would prefer only joining one guild to fill these needs.
