Again, it's not fair. They also pay for their game, you simply can't block their access, and that's what you're ultimately doing.

Mandatory party would probably suck on low pop servers, but at the same time, it would cut a hell of a lot of the congestion.
Well it was thought out for solo play as much as party player, they even advertise it with 1 player, 4 trusts.

I'd sooner they opened it up for Alliance play over punishing solo play.
