I do agree that there is actually quite a lot more to do solo or in small groups than most believe if you put your mind to it. However much of it is not common knowledge and MOST of it is not available to SS or DS.
However for those that do put their minds to it, while it is a lot more than most people know, you will run out of those things actually rather quickly. You can do money runs and vial runs basically forever, but ill tell you from personal experience that you will soon find that vials become a burden quickly with how many you will end up with, running out of all available storage space in no time. Money you can make more use of, but you can max a bank account in basically a day. The quests will run dry in a day as well if you really are interested in doing them, and unfortunately nearly all of them can only be done once.
If you take a more casual approach to these things in your down time, the longest i could see anyone with basic zone knowledge and ability to run dry on these activities is a week or two max. Even putting high end gear into clan chest with 200 slots till you cannot will quickly not become an option. I understand designing quests and the such takes time however, and its really not viable. The only thing i could think of it to make some mid level difficulty quests repeatable daily, for perhaps 1 qp each, and approximately 5 of them. 5 Mid level quests that you could repeat a day could take substantial time, several hours probably. That would allow people to be on for hours if there was not pk, and several hours for PK to find them.
Also opens an avenue for people to not pk and basically quest themselves up ranks ect, at a reasonable rate, but not ridiculous. Certainly no where near the speed you can do if you pk.
I also want to make it clear that i am not at all trying to be combative in these posts, and I am not looking to get into an argument with anyone, just a discussion about things that i believe would improve the game. I believe the work recently that has been done by the immortals and the changes imped into the game have been fantastic. I am more hopeful for the games future and more excited for things to come then i have been since i was a teenager, and that was more then a decade ago. Kudos to the imms, and thanks!
How can we bring more players to the quieter hours?

The worst part for Isabel is she's probably only going to find me on so late and I'm a worthless rogue!

Uninvent jobs/xbox1/ps4/switch/cellphones and I think we could up our downtime populace.
