Anybody else starting to really hate people who have their public grouping turned off? I was running some of the later quests in Stonefield yesterday and there are quite a few that have you defeating named mobs who aren't elite but do have a ton more health than regular mobs. They aren't hard by any means, easily solo-able, but they have respawn timers of a few minutes it seems. I kept running up on people fighting these bosses who had their public grouping turned off. Since they are basically ruining one of the coolest features of Rift and are making me wait for a few minutes for it to respawn, I refuse to help them. Not that they need it, but it makes me feel better.
I did make it up to level 25 last night and I'm still enjoying myself. I do wish there was more variety in the quests though. I'm guessing 75% of the quests so far are collect 10 of this or kill 12 of that. I'm also starting to get annoyed by getting a batch of quests and going to an area to complete them, turning them in, and then getting 3 or 4 more quests that make me go right back to basically the same area to kill more stuff. Oh well, it is what it is.
I also finally built a healing role on my cleric, so I hope to give that a shot at some point this weekend.
