I prefer to play classes which suck at solo leveling. Sometimes I get frustrated because it seems as if the majority of tanks are off on their own trying to improve skills. Some people might be afraid to power-rank early on in their lives, because it's more difficult to learn skills on high level mobs.

To be fair, I have the same inclination. If my character gets shield block, parry or dodge, I like to get those skills as high as possible to improve my survivability. This means that I avoid groups which will rank me away from easy-to-handle training mobs.

What are people's thoughts?
