That I agree with, it would destroy much of the game, just like forced grouping kills the game for some. Heh I don't know if most MMOs really do support solo grind, one comes to mind, but as I said I play EQ2 where it's possible to enjoy both styles and both are fun and you level pretty much the same. But that maybe have to do with XP for quests, collections, exploration ect... You get XP for pretty much anything in that game, which to me is overkill!! -.- I'm all for mob XP and questing XP but that's it, anymore then that and you fall into the problems you are afraid of.

Did I just contradict myself? ^^ Anyway what I meant to say is that in game I meet people who only solo and people who only group and some who do both, at this time there seems to be a good balance in play styles which is even more true if you have a nice guild.

EDIT: To the poster above, yes!!! You actually do need a grind of a kind, otherwise you will have unhappy people whining the game is too easy and such, as seen in the LotrO forums which is why we have reputation grinds....
