I don't mind the deed system, if I accomplish it in the course of doing
quests, but I don't much like the idea of going back to grind away at
greys just to finish one. My only real complaint are the quest chains
where you do part a, then part b consists of going back through the same
foes to do something else, then part c consists of going back again
through the same monsters for yet another thing. That's kind of slap in
the face-ish.


My main complaint is with the solo content - there's just not enough for
casual players to play right through, so I find myself trying to play f/ship
quests a couple colour codes below me - some are doable, others are a pita
or insta-death. They need to have *entire* quest chains that are either solo
or grouped imo.



In my opinion they need to scale instances to match the number of players who enter. If six go in, they are as they are today. If one player goes in alone, they scale down (either with fewer monsters or scaled down monsters) so a single player can make it. There is no reason an instance shouldn't be playable for either one person or a fellowship.
