I, too, disliked multi until just got tired of begging for groups. I don't like solo play at all and multi is a very poor substitute indeed.
However I will do what I can to advance my characters in the short spurts of time I have. It seems that I leave town for a few days and when I come back; any groupie friends I have made are too far ahead of me.
If anyone wants to group I am all for it. I like the challenge of overcoming mobs with what skills we have on hand.
My apologies, Phorlaug, when I brought my TE alt into a group we had. I was not aware of your feelings on the matter at the time.
