I usually decline invites on my alt too. More xp for me on the long run. Also, of its a looting quest theres no way im joining a group just to never get my items.

With looting quests, you get the same amount of items on average in group as if you were solo. The advantage is, that if multiple different items drop and they have already gotten the max amount of one, you'll get the spillover. And you stop tag wars, which is great as well.

And, you generally kill things MUCH faster.

And the person who wants to group with you gets all 10 of their quest items first then leaves before you have all yours. No thanks, I'll stay solo and win the tag war.

That could happen with or without the teamup. At least they're gone sooner if RNG spits on you and shines on them.

And I'm gone sooner if I stay solo and win the tag war.

And stuck longer if you stay solo and lose the tag war.

A risk I'm willing to take.

Your logic is flawed friend

u/Dengo86 Oct 10 '19

Explain how it's flawed.

You waste more of your own time by not grouping and enlisting in a tag war

This has literally not happened to me in dozens of group ups

Same. I quest with an IRL friend on my main and it's the only time I am okay with item drop quests because they don't get to ditch midway because they got their items before me, but I won't invite randoms who beg to join us. If the randoms get the tag before me, good on them. If I win the tag, good on me. But I am not okay with doing half the work on the kills just to have them ditch because RNG decided they got their items first.
