Please enable the option to explore the mini dungeons solo.

I enjoyed the game a lot. ESO has potential and I look forward to playing it. However, I expect to see even more people playing the game at launch. This can ruin the game quite a bit for me.

Short explanation:

When I go into a dungeon (the solo mini ones) I want to go explore at my own pace. I found this to be quite impossible during the beta, as every time I entered a dungeon it was so filled with people running all around butchering the mobs. I could only tag mobs in order to get some xp and maybe be lucky to get a miniboss kill. Sure, someone might argue that I could wait for a more quiet time or just wait for the players to leave. However, new players arrive and it's not really viable to come back. (That also ruins the exploration feeling). Anyway, the feeling of exploring a dungeon is vital to the ESO series imo. The DEVs have done a really good creating interesting dungeons with good music and interesting turn of events in the dungeons. It's sad to see all this vanish because I have lost all feeling of being unique or exploring. The dungeons were a zerg fest. I hardly saw bosses, as I had no idea where they would spawn and/or when they spawned they were insta killed by the mob waiting for them.

The second point of frustration concerns quest item sharing. Extinguish this fire over here, or wait, there is no fire, since it's already gone and 20 players are waiting for it to come alive again so that 1 lucky player might get the update again. Come on, this has been adressed in pretty much every MMO out there and been fixed.

Lastly, I went into this interesting cave where I had to collect apples, grain etc. so that the villagers could sacrifice this to get a good harvest. Even though the quest giver said it was all a scam, I agreed to gather the stuff. Of course I smelled that something was fishy. I looked forward to seeing what would happen when I gave them the items. I did not have to wait for that though, as another guy doing the same quest caught fire and vanished from sight beside the quest giver. Thus, I already knew I would be caught and sent away to some place.

I know it's an MMO, but why not give us the option to explore mini dungeons solo? And stop having shared quest items around the world.
