Soloing Arrapago Remnants QQTHs & QQAs

Ty for all the info. Hopefully it wont be to long before I can persuade some people to let me in again.

I don't understand why SE requires a certain number of people to enter any event. If you want to enter solo you should be able to, like you can with Limbus, ENMs, BCNMs, Dynamis, etc. This should be brought up in interviews because it would be easy to change.

Yeah, Id like to go solo and try all this stuff, but the hardest part besides getting the drop. Its getting 5 other people willing to help me get in there in the first place.

Agreed, I swear its easier to build a salvage static from scratch than find 5 people on a regular basis to let you in solo lol

Because they made the event to be of a certain difficulty. If it is meant to be solo-ed it will be easier as well. Not to mention this can be considered an exploit and offenders banned.

So do w/e you like but don't get caught.

That's not really great reasoning. Sure, it's most efficient to farm with groups of a certain size, and most people are not going to solo most content as soon as it is released. But strategies have been refined, etc., and if people have the ability and desire to achieve goals with fewer than 6 people in Salvage (or 3 in Assault, etc.), then SE needs to provide a real reason why they shouldn't be allowed to do so.

You can't win most BCNMs, KSNMs, or ENMs solo, and it's usually not advisable to enter with fewer than the number of members for which they were designed, but you are allowed to try...and this is a great benefit for those few that can be soloed, or those that can be done with fewer than the maximum. People CAN solo certain things in Salvage, Assault, and Campaign, but are not (theoretically) allowed to try. Why? A real reason should be provided, or it should be fixed.

It's possible that SE will just give some lame reason like "We want to encourage teamwork yakkity blah blah", but at least they should have to say something. Limitations on players are of course necessary (no, you can't merit your sword skill to 400), but I don't see how these would affect game balance or why they are in place, especially since they are inconsistent with other similar areas.

Most events these days are done with fewer members than they were in the past, and the obvious end-point of this trend is solo. This is happening regardless of SE's intent or design, and I'm not sure why they'd be against it aside from the old "You will play our game the way we want you to, or we will be angry and punish you."
