Man. I friggin' hate goblins. They train up like they work for Amtrak.
Sol A and Runnyeye are the worst, Permafrost isn't quite so bad.
I know it's because I've been in bad pickup groups, but I have died and left
empty-handed every time I've tried to fight in Sol A as a bard. So far I've
made excursion there three separate times for vambrace and boot items and
there's usually just about 12 people in the zone, half of them resting from
Sol B. I have yet to even get to the spawn locations for these items. I
don't have a strong guild, so getting them together for this sort of thing
just isn't possible. So every once in a while I cruise to Sol A and ask if
anyone is fighting in there and need a bard. So far no luck. Just another
couple of empty-handed deaths and a run back to Cazic-Thule where the
coordinated people seem to fight.
