The Solo disease?

[Leeloo]

I just don't see how you like solo combat and not party combat. That's just so boring to me. That's like going bowling by yourself, going swimming by yourself.... I see so much more fun with friends. Reading books is a solo game, go play that lol jk jk

I know you're talking more to the OP & why "solo onry", but as someone who does either, I find soloing a lot more fun in XIV. Some of the more entertaining fights I've been in were the newer NMs solo with a class that isn't capped. And even with leves or grinding you're getting to apply your full list of abilities rather than sneaking in a couple basic attacks and perhaps a weaponskill(like that nearby thread talks about). So far in XIV soloing offers much more fun for me. Of course that's all under the current battle system so that may change.

I guess I can see how XIV grouping could be fun for those who just love being in groups or those who think most efficient leveling = fun. For someone who wants fun out of the actual battle system it's quite the opposite.
