Game Has Gone to the Dogs

I'll never understand why people buy an mmo, pay for said mmo, and then expect there to be loads of solo content. It's an online game. The point is to play with other people. Joining a free company that wants to do the group content is a good first step. If you don't like this aspect of the game then this genre is probably not for you. This isn't meant to sound nasty, but it's the truth. There's plenty of single player rpg's out there that will offer the type of enjoyment that you may be looking for.

Playing with other people is great. Being locked out of content or only having a day or 2 of content a week (and paying for it) is not. People need other things to do besides sit in town and "queue up". There needs to be something you can work towards on your own.

You can craft, I guess. Also, to say "a day or 2 of content" a week is ridiculous. I'm sorry but you're playing too much if you're capping Myth in a day. You might hate the principle of lock-outs in general, and that's fine. But hyperboles such as "a day or 2 of content" are pretty ridiculous. Also, this is pretty irrelevant to the OP who is saying his only choices are: wipe in the DF, or be barred from experienced-required PFs (which would be alleviated had he joined a friendly FC). I do, however, agree that there needs to be more to do in the end-game as far as the open world goes.

Capping Myth in a day or two does not require that much time.

That's a niche some of the relic weapon steps are supposed to fill, but they tossed that out in Endwalker and arbitrarily decided Relics shouldn't start until .25 at the very least.
Field Operations would have worked for this if they just implemented the mechanics in the field zones instead of making them separate duties that stop you from queuing for anything...
