The group only players already have the best gp/hour, best drops... just give solo some love. It doesn't even need to be equitable, but just in the same league at least...

Best drops? You think best drops come from whistling in groups lol?
Drops are equal. They just skim through more random mobs that a solo player would. Drop rate is always equal

more mobs / hour more access to drops. Obviously welling is best for items, I was just thinking of climbing, not targeted farming, but I concede I was too hasty in my generalization.

So I solo I have found thousands and thousands from random mobs but I also have made thousands from muteables from EPs and whites.

So in all reality dividing the group drops by 5 is prolly = to solo cuz u might see more mobs but have less percentage to grab items

I haven't been in a group run for ages, but when whistling was introduced I did many group runs, but 99% of those were full Explore from level 1 to Master Quest and the drop quantity was great in comparison to solo, two(2) or three(3) man group runs.

I am also unaware of the group runs on SC, I was under the impression some of the groups whistled to like level 45 or 55 and then fully explored for drops and still keep up the speed and maybe whistle at level 80 to 85 (depending on unlocked characters in the group).

As for "Best Drops", I don't think it is about that, I think it is about "Faster Kill Speed = More Drops in that Time-frame." Thus a higher chance of getting a good drop. It is the old D2 mentality vs magic find... faster kill speed for more runs = more drops over the same time period.

I also get roughly a 300 fg profit per month excluding 150 for Vault just from selling shrine items, but then again I am not in it for the Forum Gold, I like solo'ing because I gain more proficiency than I would in a group, especially since I use Heavy Weapons. I would like some love to Solo players.

At all posts, good points all, hoping for more and thank you.

Group climbing is all based off of whatever the event mods are currently. High EP %? Groups are def gonna explore more, IF they have a solid group. And by solid i mean people who pay attention the whole time and dont afk for years. Yes im looking at some of you slackers.


Solo climbing is boring but i have to do it alot cuz im rarely on anymore when other people are. Plus, i dont have to sit there for an hour or more lmao.

solo play is ike this: go online -> explore 15min, found ur first ep wave with 1 mob -> logout -> sleep

Nice to know, with me, I play to my time availability, so I can not invest a full hour + for a group run... a lot of the times when I play... I play like 15 minutes or say 45 minutes and fall off to sleep (not because I am bored). Also, I may play in 3 minute intervals while watching movies, anime and some TV series, so my attention is not on the game, in other words, no group would want me in it because, my attention is not 100% to playing the game like I used to be.

So, this is why I suggested some love to Solo playing, not everyone that likes playing LS can play in a Group and give there undivided attention 100% of the time for an hour or so.



I do that also, but I don't log out, I keep my catacomb open... the only issue I have is like what just happened... I got to level 50, and JUST completed Pinch of Evils for fudge sake and got +1 Stat as a fudging reward... I mean come on, I should have at least gotten more that +1 Stat @ level 50, and on the other side of my point, I should have completed Pinch BEFORE even reaching level fucking 30... I completed TP @ level 30, and that is an objective that has a higher Req than Pinch... grumble.

Lol people really arguing the groups have better drops than solo clearly haven’t soloed enough

Been a long time since I was last in a full group, so I am only stating my point based then, don't tell me that group drops got nerfed a bit?
