i like to play my monk in a group to farm/pve.... i can only seem to find people that do 2/3 man farms... i used to love to pve years ago with real people and a whole group, does any1 do that anymore??? where?
perosnally you never know when one of your friends has to go afk and eat, bathe or attack their cat or w/e suits their fancy. Yes i do miss talking to people while im doing stuff, but i joined KISS so AC would always be kinda overflowing and i could jump in w/e.
Also the + w/ hero/hench is that they dont mind you going afk for all the reasons above
So yes i do miss having a full team, but im not really affected by it too much( heros can be modifyed to fit you.. tell ur friend that and see what happens xD)
