So, as many of the previews have described, grouping seems not to work too well in ESO. I am hoping it is just buggy and broken and NOT that they intend it to work this way because it sounds awful.

Players will phase out from one another if they are on a different leg of a quest, objectives have to be performed by each group-member individually instead of as a group, etc.

So I posted a poll to see what people thought about some of these game elements that have come to light since Friday.

Personally, I hope this gets fixed before launch because it seems like being in a group would be more of a hassle than not. I am here to play TES with friends not in spite of them.

A good example of this I saw was from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLfmHkuP4Lg at about 6:30 they talk about an objective that they should be grouped on but they all have to each do it themselves.

What are your thoughts on phasing systems and how they work, or should work?

I don't like your black and white kind of poll, so I won't be answering. I think that group content should be available, but I think it should be more like D&D online, where they had a solo version of quests, and group versions. The rewards went up accordingly, but the best gear didn't seem to be locked behind group content. Unless they make grouping extremely easy and convenient, it's frustrating having content hidden behind grouping. GW2 was awful for that. A solo personal story up until the last 2 missions, in which you were forced to group. What was the point of that?

The poll is not asking for group-only content. It is asking if there should be anything that is solo-only or if you should have the OPTION of bringing friends if you want.

Curious to know why people think solo-only content is a good thing in an MMO.

Considering the freedom to character selection and how you level it, there are some stuff you can solo if you know how to take advantage of everything.

I just wouldn't want "raids" to be solo'able for example.

Its a online game after all

It's not so much about being ABLE to solo but being FORCED to solo.

I think some people are misunderstanding that first question...

I will concede that the group mechanics of TESO will need some work.

I don't expect it to be perfect come release, but so long as they work to improve it over time, i will be happy.
