A group is different. A group situation usually means at least one ped is in a mystic/healer class because well, if you need to group for mobs then you probably need a healer.
But a biped alone has a huge plethora of schools, abilties etc. to master. Only very few are created for group support. People so hunt alone, and if biped classes were focused primarily on support then no one would get anywhere.
A dragon needs a biped for hunting soemtimes, because a dragon is actually terrible if you think about it: put it this way:
Dragon - Has GR, a res, and snarl. Thats it. Cannot stun for long so no advantage over mobs, cannot sap efficeintly, cannot do anything even close to most peds. And GR? Well, zerkers beat the damage from GR. And if GR misses...
Biped - Zerkers have uber damage, mages have magical multicasts and insta-kill combos, don't rely on one attack (GR), you have those who stun and move (rangers) to assault, multiple resses & heals, sapping spells and roots etc. etc. etc.
And for crafting peds are still better. Peds > scrolls, potions, food, plot/silos. Dragons > Crystals. And crystals aren't widely usable anyway, so even bipeds are better.
More work, more reward.
Dragons are little work for little reward, Bipeds are a lot of work for huge reward.7
And P.S. please keep in mind just because dragons have a GR which does a lot of damage, by no means is it doing anymore damage than a ped. I'd say peds are much deadlier than dragons, and you figth a dragon vs ped, and compare dragon/ped vs mobs and the results WILL show the ped is better. Dragons are just quick kills and tanks. Peds are everything else including tanks.
