Might they be sympathetic to the inconvenience of having to run them once for every member of the team? Ouro was already there, and the task force mechanics aren't too onerous (anything but Dream Doctor's can be completed in under an hour), but if you and a friend are both on and want to do a DA arc you will be *penalized* for teaming, in that only one of you gets credit with Gabriel.

CoH usually encourages teaming, and for me at least the game is far more enjoyable teamed than solo. Encouraging all the level 50 VIPs to gather in one zone and then rewarding them for ignoring one another seems...kinda foolish.

That aspect of it kinda stinks. I actually find it hard to believe that they intended it to work that way, and think it may have been an unanticipated consequence of how it was set up. If so, we can hope it will be changed at some point (possibly even by making it repeatable sans Ouroboros like some want, but I suspect it would still use the taskforce mechanics like the signature story arcs).

I know many see DA as "solo" incarnate content, but I don't think the Devs ever really want to discourage teaming.
