Please make 2.5x rates the normal for PvE

The taming rates and gathering rates are atrocious now it feels. I was really beginning to enjoy the game because I was making progress as a (mostly) solo player. My two other friends don't get on as often as I'd like so I'm left doing most of the gathering/taming/building/everything. It took me nearly 20 bolas and 40 Prime meat just to tame a level 5 Tiger earlier today. I'm level 42, I would have hated to seen how long it would've taken me to tame a level 20+. I just want to feel like I'm accomplishing something daily and now I feel like I definitely am not getting much done thanks to the decreased rates.

Nope. If that is the case, should make a gastar/free build srv that is what you and solo playes ask. And another srv for mmo players.

Nice elitist post. A lot of people have jobs and lives to live. Also, even no-lifing this game, as a solo player you won't accomplish hardly anything with the normal rates.

Next to that I don't know how anyone could be against increased rates. You're in a big group that has no issues gathering resources? GOOD FOR YOU, have a cookie. Unfortunately this game doesn't reward TRUSTING random people and calling it an MMO is almost laughable, sure, there's a ton of people running around, but I imagine a majority of the playerbase is actual solo/small group play. And even in MMOs the only thing that is large group based anymore are raids, so let's not act like MMOs are something that are all about big group play anymore, they aren't. That's why even WoW has Looking for Group queues for Raids now.

I would also prefer a game that was more playing and less grinding. 2.5 x did NOT seem OP.
