umm.... rage much?
And which is it...are they opting to solo, or are they forced to solo?
Just saying....your passion may be muddling up your argument a little.
Personally, I solo most of the time simply as a matter of convenience with my schedule. I frequently have to go afk during the day, so I opt to do campaign/besieged a lot with a little FOV/GOV thrown in sometimes. When I can focus for a couple hours, I'll run into aby for skillups. It allows me to get a lot of the tedious crap for my personal goals (like magians, farming/crafting, skillups, etc.) on my own time, then I can set aside time when everyone is on to do the more intensive stuff that requires or simply goes smoother with a little help.
It sounds like you have a grudge against all soloists or something, guess someone has just been pissing in your corn flakes something fierce lately. Just because you see some people "soloing" while dual-boxing doesn't mean every soloist is doing it, and not always just people running around on BST---many solo on mage classes too. It is a small minority that are a nuissance (at least on my server). It's an unfortunate side effect of all the "easy button" mentality the design team has taken with the game in the last year or so. But, in my experience, many are willing to team up if it is a goal that can be shared or simply to speed things up. How you approach them makes a big difference...if you are confrontational, then they are going to push back--it's human nature. Sometimes it may not necessarily be the soloist that is the antagonist....
Oh, and I've only had one character in this game. 7/10 90+ jobs to 99 all with empy +1 armors (all but maybe 6 pieces were completely soloed via quests and NM kills, and those pieces not 100% solo often were b/c of odd seals I got that no one wanted when I assisted them with their farming sessions) and working to +2's with a host of magians to +2, +3, and final stages (still working on finishing them, again on my own time for the most part) and 6 at 51 with no mule, ever--been playing for roughly 7 years now.
