I take henchmen often just because I'm usually on a time limit and I don't want to waste half my time looking for a group. But usually I try harder to find a group just because it's more fun that way.

I'd have to say it hurts those who drop just as much or more than it does those who stay. I mean granted there will be those who just get their jollies by dropping and saying "Ha suckers you don't get the benefit of my awsome aggro the map skill."

My favorite example was a PuG the first time I made it to the desert (seems so long ago now). Most of the party was trying to play leader and run this way or that way expecting everyone else to follow. This devolved into cursing name calling and everyone dropping except yours truely. Upon getting my bearings from my favorite reference site, found out I was about compass length from Elona Reach. Ran there and lived happily ever after....at least until my next PuG

I often play while my daughter is napping or the like, and may have to leave at a moments notice. As a result I often pair up with bots, since they don't mind standing in one spot for 20 minutes if I have to go tuck her back in, and they don't complain if I log out because she's up and not having any more nap. Plus the bots are predictable, if nothing else. Sure they aren't smart, nor are they particularly good, but you don't have to worry about them engaging without you, they stop running when you need to recover energy and so on.

that's one of my favorite thing about the henchmen and soloing.
i've been trying to squeeze in some playing time but over the past week i haven't been able to get more than half an hour at a time. when i have to go i just make sure i'm in a realatively safe place and then come back when i can. Unless the game crashes I can pick up where i left off.

actually i think right now my character has been sitting in the middle of no where since yesterday afternoon. she was soloing though so i think she is getting lonley sitting amongst all of those dead charr.

Do you know why you crash regularly? I'm just curious. I have never had GW crash. It may lag if I'm loading, or if I stupidly have another program in the background trying to access the internet. But as long as my system is devoted to GW I have no problems. But even with stuff in the background, no crashes?

It would seem like something to look into.

I'm somewhat jaw-dropped in awe at how silly this is. It seems that the poster is either joking, or he's really taking these gaming experiences too heavily.

I forgot what this post was about...
It the jaw dropping I remember!
