Unfortunately, basilisks den, waragons nest, and Shultz guard are all pretty bad. There is really no reason to grind in those spots. I hope they buff those spots so they can be around the same level as the other popular low end spots.

There  is not many people who will stay with me for 2-3h mindles graind and even less if we have to deal with mechanics whale running in circles . Simple fix will be just to party up and dont be punish form the game with less loot or xp and u can leave the plary what ever u feel bored without fk the peapole who graind with you.

I much prefer grinding on my own so I don't have to depend on the availability of other people and their expertise. I think a better solution would be to make various zone have the option to be done solo or in teams. Like detect if a player is in a party and how many hit the mob, then make the mobs drop enough loot for all the party members that hit it. But if the player is not in a party then just drop loot once per mob. In my opinion the loot should have the same odds and pool of items regardless of if in party-mode or single-mode. This way those that like party content will have the option while not alienating those who don't and vice versa.

So... play a solo game, this is a MMO, maybe you dont know the meaning but its for MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE, not solo player, please, if you want a solo rpg you can play others game, but dont defend soloplayer in a MMO, if you want to play a solo rpg go ahead, its the same if i said i dont like weapons in a shooters, a lot of player want to do a knife fight of course.

Hi, long-time MMO player (13 years). Not the BDO though, why? I love the graphics and fighting styles of different characters, and I enjoy life activities, so why do I seem to be unable to stay on this game every reaocuring season for more than 56lvl? So in other words... For more than a day? (60lvl on shai doesn't count, it was made just by life activities, so like... doesn't actually count as playing? Mostly just leaving game on so she could either cook or process)

I choose to spend time on the meaningless MMO game (don't get offended, I call meaningless anything that can never be "ended" cause there is always more repeating content - I'm a handmade objects creator, I can use my time on actually finishing something either enjoyable for family or to sell on market)

But I choose to spend quite some time on MMO. Why? CAUSE I LOVE PLAYING WITH OTHERS!!! I always create healers or buffers even thou I prefer to play as archer or sorcerer - just to get easier into parties! To this day I remember creating my first character in bdo - guess what I choose...

"Is she the only support class? ... Guess I'm an ugly hamster now..." Don't offend at me, she looks like distorted hamster, like something went wrong in laboratory in my opinion. I can have my own opinions, you can have yours, don't offend over the fact that I don't find her appearance cute. And I am able to fall over something for "cuteness". I made my lahn a farming character cause I didn't enjoyed her fighting style yet I fell in love with her cute look.

And it turned out she is not even a support class! Yeah, she has a healing aoe skill, but I get my dark knight and other classes healed JUST BY HITTING, never found a need for hamster when grinded solo. Yes, I don't grind solo a lot, but I will gladly assume my point stays...

Okay, so that's about being in a party with support class... How about DPS? Oh... It's either so easy to go solo through the game that a party is actually harming not helpfull, or it's an end game spot that you need firstly grind solo for some time to get to those spots... Yeah, I'm gonna go play shayia, Aion, Archeage, LMSPW, find a group that still plays Lineage, guild warsy, and so on - even thou they have SO WORSE FIGHTING STYLES! But at least I can play them in multiplayer style...

Complaiments aside, I actually found someone that goes party with me through the game on the new season character. Mostly because he enjoys time with me, not the party game in bdo. I finally reached 59lvl BY ACTUALLY PLAYING the game, not just being " on" in the game. And it's on Whoosa that I don't like, her fighting style looks like mix of Shai and Lahn (I feel like they got Inspired by Seraphine in LoL here...), and she is neither a short not a distant range, she is "something" in between. So the fact that I got to 59 IS ONLY THANKS TO THAT PARTY.

We actually manage to do something with it - when we get to the spot we go the same route, he clears left side of the road I clear right. Or he cleares down I clear up, since as a whoosa I can jump down anytime without dying.

It's not the most efficient way, cause on some spots we can't find a big enough loop for our cleaning speed, sometimes we also just have to retract our steps on empty road, but if we try to go different routes or loops we get out of our "clearing each others quest requirements" range. ITS SO FREAKING SHORT!!!

PLEASE AT LEAST INCREASE THAT RANGE!!! 

Just make a god damn party system. Players can't trade between accounts so theres no real problem with have 2 comps and tagging your 2nd account for double drops. I don't see the damn problem here. Why isn't it an option to play this game in a damn party. If you want to solo go solo, if you want to party go party. You've already killed open world pvp and battle for spots with negative karma and gear down grades so your already half way there for a party system.

100% of spots, 100% party-able.  No exceptions. 

I completely agree with what most have expressed here.  I do like to do party content when the opportunity allows and current options are pretty poor for my AP/DP bracket.  Elvia Imps are buggy and crap loot.  Elvia Castle is OK, but tuned for 3 players and sucks since the revamp.  Nothing in Calpheon Elvia.  Turos are OK since the revamp, but that place has never been a good grind spot - people go there because they need Fallen God drops.

One or two areas like Elvia Orcs tuned for duo play would be excellent and wouldn't hurt the game at all, or retune some of the spots mentioned to offer rewards similar to top solo spots for a pair.

Nah, no need for designated group spots.  I'd rather just see them add boosts for active grouped players in loot and xp.  That way any place could be duo or group content... IF that is what you wanted.  
If they just stopped penalizing grouping they wouldn't have to create specific content for it.  Have a customizable loot roll system you can set drop levels for blue or lower loot (anything higher should require a roll).

Questing together, story mode etc would be cool, making stuff like the magus questline way more fun.
