Hmm...Rift seems to be getting better and better with every patch, and those patches are happening real fast. May have to resub for a month or two soon.
I'm glad to see that Trion is working on a healthy balance between solo and group end-game content. I hope other companies will see this and apply it as well.
You have to give Trion props for at least TRYING to have some variety to their content and to addressing concerns players have at endgame.
Not everyone has time for a strict raid schedule, but wants to see content so they're making solo/2 person raids.
They're also adding player housing, more 'things' to do - while a bit grindy but at least more to do at 50.
Trion has from the start listened and been responsive to their player base. Is Rift an OMG game, no, but it's polished, fun and just different enough with the rifts to be interesting.

I agree with Ziboo here. I played rift till about level 38 or so and got flat bored. But if they can keep this pace up with this quality of updates instead of "Hey new dungeon" every time but instead actually adding more content and variying activities then I may consider resubbing.
I see another benefit to allowing solo/duo play in raids and endgame content. Normally, groups just want to burn through the instance, snag the loot, then get the hell out. With the option to go solo, you can take your time and appreciate the work of the artists and level designers.

few wrong points OP
you state Murdantix previously took 24 players..max is 20 in Rifts raids
also you say HK can take from 2-4 hours yet its been out almost a month and has not yet been fully completed by any guild.
