The mechanics of the game content 1-50 are highly anti social. Anyone who doesn't agree hasn't played a game that was a true mmo. Currently the mechanics are in a way that you have to go out of your way to find people and make a party if you wanted to grind exp for levels and it isn't even necessary when you can just do fates which are scattered everywhere, by the way does anyone actually have friendly conversations with those they do fates with? If i'm level 30 and i need to go kill 30 whatever i can not only do that on my own, i can do it just as fast or faster by myself than taking the time to get a party. If the mechanics were such that getting from 1-50 with a group of friends or players was X amount of weeks, and the time to get 1-50 by yourself solo was 3-4x amount weeks because solo should always be more inconvenient than group play, then THAT would be a real mmo.

Instead it's flipped backwards and you can get through the content in a week or two alone occasionally using duty finder and the solo quests themselves can't even be done as a group...the mass amount of content is completely solo until end game. I agree with the OP, this isn't an mmo it's like SWTOR but at least swtor the solo quests were super entertaining...
