No need to apologize ;) I run mostly solo too. I have one friend that plays destiny but he is super busy and can't much anymore. I don't disagree with anything you said, btw. I enjoy AF but have never bothered to try it solo. I go there, if people are doing it then I join in. If not I wait a bit then find something else to do. Regarding the timer, I see no issue extending the timer. It doesn't affect anything negatively, and merely gives a slightly greater chance of getting back in to the forge. I do see what it's meant by some of the responses that the short timer is designed such that a team wipe is possible. Anyways, good luck with the Nightfall when you do it.
