Re: BST an option for a semi-casual player?
Take away the time it takes to find a party and get to a camp, and yes, we make just as much as a decent party. I can easily get 4k+ per hour solo at 65, so even if it only takes 60 minutes to get a party and get a camp, I still make more than a party would in 2 hours.

It was a reply to the post I quoted. He said you could get to 75 fairly quickly.. I was wondering how, with what I heard. And "does it matter", not everyone wants to go spend a few hours getting close to no exp.

Re: BST an option for a semi-casual player?
Yes, but if he tried another job, he'd likely be spending those few hours getting no xp at all, while waiting for an invite. Not only that, but its easier to make an all bst or bst/smn static with various pt'ing times. If you miss an xp session, you can just go solo for awhile. When its only one or two other BST friends that you party with, then its much more casual and makes you feel less like a jerk when you have to leave after only pt'ing for an hour or two.
