Like the other replies have said, it's now very solo friendly. You might have to party up here or there, but for the most part the MSQ (Main Story Quests) now offer a path to bring in NPC characters to help you through dungeons and the like. So if you are just in it for the story and simply don't want to play with people, then you can do pretty much all of that solo.

HOWEVER, this is not a community like WoW where it's toxic as hell. Everyone gets extra rewards if they play a dungeon with someone who has never done it before so it's actually nice to have a newbie in your party, and generally people are super chill if you say "hey, it's my first time" when going into a group activity.

    Just a quick extra note, that people who have not completed up to a certain point in the MSQ are tagged with a little sprout next to their name, the only time I have ever seen people get a /kick was for hassling a sprout.

    Oh yeah, good call.

    That's good to hear about the /kick. The last time I saw someone get kicked was years ago during a Prae run (back when it was still an 8-man) where the person was not actively helping do the activity. They'd just stood around while everyone else did the work. And then they had the audacity to say to US that it was OK because Prae was easy now so they didn't need his help anyway. While true, you don't get tomes for free, bro, and after a couple of bosses we kicked him out.

    For OP: Yeah, Sprouts designate someone as a newer player so everyone knows they may be seeing or doing some stuff for the first time.
