Sorry for double posting:
Another thing about soloing Gold: for me, each trial of my tests/practice is a huge challenge. It's really difficult for me, even though I already have almost 100 hours of MP, Gold is well built and very difficult for players that aren't that much experienced and don't have a decent manifest. I have 100 hours of game but I try to get information, so I study the game a bit. Imagine how difficult is Godl for people that play more casually.
I can't play any Gold Solo relaxed. I'm always tense and on the edge, because a mistake might screw you. Even so, I'm enjoying this challenge quite a lot mainly because it's possible to notice the improvements on each game.
I really wouldn't have make it to w10 naked (that's the best I could do so far, couldn't repeat it yet) without your useful tips and insights, so thanks BSNers
