Indeed. I can tell you right now that if it weren't for the stories that this game has inspired me to write, I wouldn't have made it past the first six months. I like my characters' stories a LOT more than I like the actual game.

I was going to respond to buzzard, but I see it's not necessary.

No doubt there's plenty in both camps. I have plenty in my SG which have extensive backgrounds for their mains and such. I really have no issue with the devs catering to such player since, as you say, it doesn't have any negative impact on me. |

All the character bios and sub-optimal power combos I see in game indicate that a large number of players don't play like you.

The current trials (and the next two) have been in the works for a while now. The trial plans are not going to be dropped to pursue the solo path. Companies don't work that way. The devs have said they will address the solo path issue, and you can believe them or not. While I understand people are quite concerned about the topic harping on it in the short term, when the message has been communicated it just gets to be nagging.
Too many alts to list.

I would say the WST route isn't a "pretty valid incarnate advancement path."
Even if I only have time to run one team oriented shindig a week for my incarnate path, the wst is not what I would run. In my books, weird as it may be, it is an inefficiant use of my play time, and that is enough to make it obsolete for me.
I don't do that. I don't really know that I've ever done it in this game or any other MMO. I just play what is available to play without any concern about what that character might do, simply because I don't think out that angle.
