Comments on: Don’t Have 24 Friends? Wait Half a Year http://www.wowisbroken.com/2009/06/dont-have-24-friends-wait-half-a-year/ Every game has flaws. WoW has lots. I blog about them.

Solo tokens of some sort would be pretty cool. The problem is once you get down to that point, assuming 3:1 exchange all the way, that 58-token Conquest chest is 1566 "solo tokens." That's a little much for, say, 99% of solo players. I think, to an extent, that's what the whole tournament rewards thing is all about. Raid-level rewards (well, low-end) for solo content. I just wish it wasn't under the guise of a bunch of daily quests (ALSO broken! Future post on those, too!)

Heroics are far more palatable to me than large scale raids; I don't mind putting in considerably more time than a raider to get comparable or slightly inferior gear. I would even go so far as to suggest adding an another level to the system: solo quested or dropped tokens that could, over time, be converted to group emblems. The conversion rate could even be relatively extreme, say 1:5 or greater, as long as it wasn't tied to a limitation like daily quests. The time required isn't nearly as important to me, as long as it's possible. Will it ever happen? I seriously doubt it, but hey, I've been playing WoW for over 4 years now hoping for a change.
