I prefer to play all games solo for all your same reasons and more (clan drama, annoying people, haters, sheep, dont feel like mic-ing up 24/7 etc) I had over 300 xbox live friends at one point and now im done with that nonsense. Im almost 40, and i only play with 2 real life friends. One doesnt play destiny. The other just started last week. Im so much happier. Im hoping guided games will help me do raids as im the solo guardian that bungie made that for. I am grateful for that.
