yeah i know what you mean, i like playing alone but i prefer to be in some guild for chatting at the very least, plus unlimited party quests are great xp. right now i dual client with 2 accounts to do them xD
edit: joined the afk driller squad last night so my TM went up by crazy lol
little aoe grind video
edit: such deep storytelling
also for new/f2p players, do you see that little penguin on the mid right of this shot? always kill them! they do not fight back and only run away, stun you(at<50%hp), or teleport to a random location in the map after you hit it. they always have 10hp, and you always do 1 damage. they can be found on any map. if you kill them they often drop a GM lucky bag that contain a lot of galders, a cash shop Store More Permit which is AWESOME! and today i got a bag with 5 GM gift certificates in it which also can be exchanged for some crazy overpowered gear. these items are worth milions on the web auctionhouse too.
and its time to drill up the stones needed for a Harkon, for my 3rd job advancement
i decided to do a little crafting on the level 30 WT(weight) accessory you get by levelup event and got pretty lucky. by tempering i got a 1.4k WT added, then i drilled for book bags in phantom school and compounded another 3481WT in it. kinda makes me want to roll a WT based fox lol, but nah.
