These couple of days, once you spawn in the map, there is 2 groups that are aggroed. They are literally IN your aggro circle.

Only half my team spawned and we were already being attacked.

Is this some half-assed solution to soloing, or a serious bug?

Um... FoW is impossible to solo. Which why its good.

The intro mobs spawn randomly so you simply have some bad bad luck. Its also there for a challenge, though two mods at once may overwhelm some.

Possibly you spawned after a party memeber that aggroed everything to your presence?

Have you been sleeping under a rock? I've seen 105 Monks solo it before, because some idiot 105 monk aggroed EVERYTHING once and screwed my group over.

Not much of those in the beginning area. So far, all the groups in there consist of either shadow warrior/monk/beast, shadow ele/mesmer, and shadow ranger/abyssal...

Soloing the first group doesn't really count as soloing, there are mesmers galore down there that will own any 105/55 beyond the first few steps. So I guess the first group is soloable.. but 1k for 8 or so guys isn't worth it... you chance of egtting something is slim. So ya no one is going to solo it.

Not sure about the beasts, they can put up a nice degen so they may be able to stop a 105/55... not sure though.

I soloed to the entrance of the silly forge once, including the first quest. All you have to do is keep breeze up till you're disenchanted then reapply it. Also, to get an easier ride just run the shadows into the skeletons and they'll do the work for you

I got killed by the group of 4 mesmers at the gate tho.
