Is there any reason to focus on 'solo' players..?

if a party excludes 2 classes of people from wanting them to get into the group then it is a problem. it may not have been a problem for the people doing the exclusion, but it was a problem for those being excluded.

i really didn't have problems getting in parties but i made most of mine and if u build it they will come. hell even blm was invited to parties back in day, fact i finished off my blm right round the time wotg expansion came out, my last 3lvs i made a tp burn but lol just replaced myself a blm with one of the mele. when the time was alot of players it was easy to put together and when there were few they pretty much took who ever so either way it worked.

though for merits i do still say u'r shit out of luck, i spent a couple months grinding my brd 1-75 so i can merit like a machine so i did invite what worked for the best exp per hours. but not like u can't try out one of the classes that fit that.

and yes pup and bst were the "Solo's" and smn less desperate for heals at lower lvs. probably that would be a better way to create solo, keep making enough solo classes to enchant the solo'ist as well. lv sync fixed the lack of players when the game got older, but again ffxi was packed at launch and for many many years without really needing it, there was always enough to put together parties in any ranks for the most part and at any time of the day, it's what i loved about it the most. i quit warhammer for the biggest reason, there was only real action and stuff to do a couple times a week, or maybe hours a day when the 9-5's came home or something if u got lucky. games like that are crap and fail.

Also, if you run around for 20 ranks without knowing where to buy armor, you really should get off of the game because you haven't even made an attempt at figured out how to play. There are NUMEROUS sites with info on this game. Lodestone, FFXIVPRO, Eorzapedia, ZAM, etc etc all have guides to complex info and basic info. I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for someone who got that far without knowing anything at all. Some things I can let slide (like br's and NM tactics) but most things..like...battle...attribute points...map navigation...hotkey construction is all things that are very very easy to figure out.

Also...if you have a question...ask it. That person that went for 20 levels obviously was a troll. Why? I walked into Uldah without a clue of where the market wards were. I /sh Where are the markets?. BAM, I got a response. When I was playing in Beta, I didn't know that there were market wards so I /sh where is the AH? BAM, got a response. IT'S NOT HARD TO ASK!!!

what does this have to do with this thread at all?
