I spend 80% of my time soloing. I will do an occasional TF and I always join in on GM teams for quick merits.
I always run my new characters with double XP turned on. Since they dont earn INF that way, I use 3 seperate AE farming tanks to gain influence for all my characters.
I don't multi box.
I don't PL myself or others in my farms. I get it done and email the funds to who needs it.
I rarely do incarnate content, but I do enjoy the extra benefit that incarnate powers give my characters in regular content.
With this said, I do not have a boatload of characters to play, maybe 25-30 ish, spread across 5 shards.
I do look at the numbers when slotting and try to make the best possible improvements with my slotting. I do not set out to min-max any character, but eventually they get pretty darn powerful. When it comes time to train I do what I feel my char needs. That's how he grows in my idea of playing the game.
I do not use mids.
I rarely respec, just hate doing it. Not fun in its current form,, it takes away from the progressive experience to me.
My non farming characters do try to enjoy AE content others have written. I just wish there was a way to not be behind the TF Wall, so if someone needs quick help on something, or I need a brief assistance, I could ask for it. Soloing AE is rough when it gets to the final boss sometimes, and I can't ask anyone to help.
I enjoy chatting in game at times and helping out in help channel and all the stuff that makes this a friendly community.
