"One thing WoW is often criticised for is that you can very easily solo to max level, without ever learning to play your class in a group. In a game where grouping often means using a very different set of abilities to soloing, that’s really hampering how easily new player get into the endgame."
Not saying that I'm the type to solo to the end, but I'm definitely nervous about being a noob in high end content. Lots of players out there are pretty much pros at it, and I'm not the type who likes to get yelled at for messing up when I'm trying to just play a game. Anyone else feel this sort of noob vs. group anxiety? And do you think you HAVE to be a super number cruncher with 20 add-ons to play the high end stuff?
