Autonomous players: they team up spontaneously
Two solo autonomous players on the same quest in the same spot sometimes offer to group: a short message, an invite, help in combat, then each goes their way with a thank-you once the quest is done.

On a live server, two players killing the same monsters for the same quest often end up grouping. Autonomous players now do the same:
- Offer: about once a minute, a solo player working on a quest objective looks for a player of their faction within 35 m on the same quest, also solo and of similar level (at most 3 levels apart). If so, they sometimes whisper 'grp?' or 'on groupe ?', then invite a few seconds later.
- Mutual help: in the group, each comes to help the other when attacked nearby. Kills count for both.
- Parting: when the shared quest is done, when the other has been away for 2 minutes, or after 45 minutes, they thank the group ('merci, bonne continuation', 'gg, a+') and leave.
Groups formed by a real player are still led by that player, as before.
Along the way, quest item looting is more reliable: too far from the corpse, the player steps closer and tries once more.
