Why does SE keep doing this?

"Discrimination"? Really? Is this real life?

Apparently you've never seen a person being denied a group over and over again. It didn't happen to me, but I've seen it happen. Either way, what I'm saying is, yes, encourage people to play in groups, but don't destroy the experience for solo players just because of that. Don't you get what I'm saying, or do you simply not care?

Anyone being denied a party by EVERYONE on the server (as you so claim) must be a colossal elitist douche so they deserve it. If it's that bad, transfer and try being cordial to the people there.

I completely understand what you're saying, I just find it mind-numbing. This is not a solo game. Why are you upset that there is little to no solo content in a game designed for group play? Why? This is not a solo game. This is not a solo game. Why do people like you feel so entitled? Would you go to McDonalds and demand filet mignon? Oh my God.

You're completely misinterpreting me. It isn't that there is little to no solo content. It's that some things aren't even available to solo, or is more or less pointless as solo. That there is no option.

It is not a solo game. Why would there be? I seriously feel like I'm feeding the trolls now. You really cannot be serious at this point.

. ...That there is no option.

Lets look at the first rule of FF you seem to forget... FF is not a solo game, you are always in a party of 3 or members(well except periodically) with 5-10 other charters on stand by you can use at any time. Gear wise most i90 crafted and overmelded gear is better then i100. levequest and fates give same or more xp then doing dungeons. You play an MMO and refuse to socialize, and then complain because of this. You are choosing to be antisocial. There are many FC's that all you have to do is join, and donate some gill once in a blue moon. That gets you FC buffs, room, stable and other perks. Even not being a social player I know ppl who simply paid several players to help them start and raise a fc, get super high rank, and then leave. Leaving only 1-4 people in the FC, with all FC benefits. You simply choose not to do this. Majority of your complaints is also already addressed by a different live letter, letter from the producers, and answers from developers as coming out in 2.35(1 day), .38, and .4;

Could you link those? Because I haven't been able to find it. As for everything else, I was in a FC until a certain incident happened, perfectly happy with the situation I was in up until then. That didn't make think otherwise.
I felt forced to join one, and even though I didn't mind joining that particular FC, that was still there. You're simply FORCED to be there, like it or not. I don't find that to be a healthy system.

Majority of your complaints is also already addressed by a different live letter, letter from the producers, and answers from developers as coming out in 2.35(1 day), .38, and .4;

"In the event a player discharged from a free company has purchased a private chamber, rights to said private chamber will be relinquished automatically, and any furnishings held within will be removed."
"Chocobos automatically removed from chocobo stables will only retain changes to their name and feather color since the last time they were stabled. Any experience points gained through training since they last time they were stabled will be lost."

"The HP of rank B elite marks has been reduced so that they can be defeated by a single player."
BUT!
"Rank B elite marks will no longer yield rewards upon defeat."
Therefore, it is only useful for elite marks, which to be fair, is quite kind of them either way. The hunt system is as you people have said, something you're supposed to do in a party after all. I agree with that. They are supposed to be strong monsters. If you were able to solo them, then that wouldn't exactly be the case anymore, would it?
This is the only fair change I've seen. However, I don't find the other two being all that bad, but I still find them being an issue, and wouldn't be if the rooms were bound by character and not FC, and the chocobo stables were available outside of the FC.

So, I still think the problems are more or less the same, but the hunt change is good. Now people won't go crazy over somebody pulling a B rank anymore at the very least.

As for the rest, I still haven't found anything about what you were talking about.

The daily hunts were supposed to be a solo friendly version of the hunts, as I stated SE did address that today. By changing the way B rank works to be mobs for solo players; Also reworking the daily bills to drop enough to be worth doing, which they did. So solo players are no longer locked out of hunt gear, just progress slower. for personal houseing, http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...81#post2251581 ;
