Comment on MMO players (past and present): what is your attitude towards "forced" group content?

I hate it. I’m literally waiting for Warframe’s new “forced six-player mode” to allow undermanned teams (future update), so I can try to solo it. Unless I can carry the team myself, I feel like I’m not contributing and therefore never want to play with others.

Lol, I didn’t include it in the post body since it strays from the typical MMO structure I was referring to, but Warframe is definitely a big culprit in the “I loaded into the mission and my teammates cleared it before the intro VO wrapped” space. No shame in that game, if I had the frame and mods to do it, I’d likely do the same. Instead though, I’ll take 45 minutes on a Spy mission because I’m playing it like Sam Fisher instead of Cyber Ninja. Of course, unlike SWTOR, where I feel my focus on story and world is encouraged by the game (or, at least, not punished), with Warframe I do feel like my approach is contrary to the design.
Still, love the game, and I’ve had mostly positive experiences with the community, even if I’m inevitably bringing up the rear in group content.
