REASONS: I don't recall the name of the second quest; both are in the same locale (East of Tuchborough) in the vicinity of the Big Willow Tree. Both are basically escort type quests with multiple waves of mobs. In both, the escorted/protected NPC's -- as one would expect at level 7 -- die easily. In both, the player's level makes it impossible to generate enough aggro to draw the mobs away from the NPC's.
I attempted these on a new alt (hobbit burglar) and -- as with far too many other "solo" quests in the Shire (home of Fed Ex quests ad nauseum) -- came to the conclusion that whomever labeled these in terms of level and group/solo requirements never bothered to actually play-test them. At level 13, the burgler was STILL unable to solo these two quests, even using healing pots and food buffs. Other classes might be able to solo these quests, but I sincerely doubt that my Guardian, Minstrel, Hunter, or Lore Master could have soloed these quests back at that level.
If you are thinking of the one from the guy that stands at the beehives, and you have to protect him from the bears, I could have sworn that it is already labeled fellowship... I remember doing it and dying, and thinking, man that was hard, then looking at my log and I was surprised to see it was a fellowship - because there really aren't too many at that level that are labeled fellowship. but that was a long time ago /shrug
