I'm hooked. (Gaming)

They added a faction rep bonus for solo play to make up for it, but I fully agree with you. It's not enough, and it's starting to feel like I'm not on a level playing field - especially as a rook - because I have mostly been solo when I was playing.

Explain Rook to me, because I'm not sure I really get it. I don't understand why I would enter as a Rook instead of just going into solos and accomplishing the same thing, as well as being able to actually complete some contracts along the way. I understand being able to sneak around the UESC, but I'm not sure that's worth the trade off of not being able to make actual progress and also being in a match full of squads. I feel like I can loot just as effectively in a solo match, but I won't pretend I might not be missing something.
