I’m exactly the same 
although recently I started to do random rp and I found out my disgust for void elves

Oh no, what did Void Elves do!

Yes, that’s what it means.
You said that if manual groups have the same rewards as solo + NPCs, you would do solo + NPCs. That means you prefer that mode. If you preferred manual groups, given equal rewards you’d have chosen them. I get that you prefer solo + NPCs due to shorter queues. But that’s intrinsic to the mode. So the fun you get from playing with real people or whatever is LESS than not having to wait for them. This is exactly the measure of that fun - it is small enough to be outweighed by several minutes of wait.
Now, on having to up the incentives for going with a group still, I am really not sure why there should be ones. But if you insist, the OP, for example, agrees. So this is not an argument against his particular proposal in this particular thread.

No. Your feelings and opinions are not fact. I know you’ve had a hard time accepting that with Deja.
My personal opinion is that you’d probably not be eligible for rewards, it would need to be a story mode if you’re going with full AI. If we are talking for dungeons, raids etc.

Are you talkin about dungeon\raids or the whole wow thing? cause im not grouping with other human beings (except world bosses) since the 3rd month of SL.
I would use ME and MY FRIENDS instead WE.
You said everything yourself, I inserted nothing. You are just not willing for some reason to understand what it is that you said. And you said nothing bad, just in case. So, people do not value playing with other people highly when those other people are random strangers. So what. Yes, this is the case. Doesn’t mean you don’t value people at all, etc. It’s just that when it comes to playing a video game, the priorities are what they are, your own time is more important than some ephemeral pretense at communication with random strangers.

On what level do we talk about? In s1 M0 dungeon rewarded 184 ilvl, WQ’s went up to 194 ilvl (or even 197?) 
Sorry for the s1 example; i don’t know the numbers of s2 since i never do them.
See here you go again. You can’t decide what my opinion is or what it means. I do that. You can say what YOUR preferences and YOUR opinions are. Not mine. So please stop doing that.
I explained how a solo mode could have a detrimental affect on actual group content (not at PUG level), it will deplete the number of available players. Not because it’s a better mode, not because it’s good for the game. In fact it could very well have a very detrimental affect on the game as a whole as it will stop that game mode with autoqueue from being available.
There are plenty of activities in the game that are possible to do solo, I love to spend time doing stuff by myself. There are certain aspects in the game that should remain group with other players. Or you might as well be playing a solo game.
A full AI mode would need to have lesser rewards, which seems horrible. Yet another tier of rewards at some lower ilvl because you are essentially playing it at some extreme novice mode without people. It certainly isn’t worthy of nm or hc rewards considering you are dumbing down the content even further.

You SAID what your opinion is. You just refuse to accept what it is for some reason. I am not deciding for you anything, you said everything yourself. Stop being defensive and think about what it is that you said.

And you wonder why others are so abrupt with are so incapable of accepting opposing views.
Dear, re-read our exchange. You said YOURSELF that you will prefer solo + NPCs. Then you spent three posts (now more?) refusing to accept that you said that. Spare me your rhetoric about how I am incapable of accepting opposing views, I accept them perfectly. I accept your view. You are just behaving irrationally. Not going to reply further, just in case. Good night.

What is it you are queueing for?
1 hour + is awful for any content and we started to see that with older LFRs during BfA.
I’m so glad you’ve decided to re-read and accept that our opinions are different and do not support each other’s views.
I like the lore. Other games don’t have Azeroth and blood / void / night elves. I’ve invested a good part of 14 years of my life in this world, I love it and I don’t want to leave it. I like the lore, especially if I extend it with the help of my own fantasy.
I absolutely disklike single player games. I feel lonely while playing those and miss the (passive / or sometimes active) company and the “competition”. The sub doesn’t bother me at all, I just don’t buy a lot of other stuff one doesn’t need in the end, so playing that little fee each month is nothing.
I’d love the idea of having groups filled up with AI “players”; it would be even cooler if you could constumize those: choose from lore NPCs or join a raid with your own alts! Year sure, if necessary, keep the rewards low or cosmetic only, but to be honest - in PvE it should be easy to balance different difficulties of AI to even turn “with AI” into a competitive mode that allows for better rewards. This would also allow guilds with too few members to fill a raid group an option to play without having to search for randoms.

SoD LFR especially if you aren’t a healer / tank sadly already. Noticed that too… Alliance of course. Maybe Horde is better still.
i’m afraid Dejarous is right brusqueness notwithstanding, ESO introduced this with the last expac, and it just doesn’t add anything to the game outside of novelty value, on release, sure, everyone had one, now, you rarely see them.
why?, because htere is only so many times you can hear the same lines without getting them killed and never summoning them again, “what do you plan to do with that?”, “oh, i thought i’d make a nice gag for you”
it absolutely WOULD take a lot of time to implement because the level of depth they’d need to give that companion in dialogue, action and animations to make them even remotely tolerable for any length of time would be incredible, time best used in other areas.
it just doesn’t work.
why?, because as has been said, there is absolutely no substitute for the real thing.
WoW and every other game already has the best scenario with it’s random companion encounters.
Many games do the AI companion thing, especially for leveling dungeon. It works fine, it will work fine in WoW. It can be used to enhance the lore and will allow Blizz, should they want to, to give a better, more structured leveling experience, closer to what FFXIV has, where you have to play the entire main story before you can do endgame.
Mellinora in a nutshell:
You said this but you really meant what I said you meant!
My opinions are facts. Your opinions are wrong.
