1.18 Patch Notes

I think thats a clue. I'll let it sink in for a second. You shouldn't be soling in this game. Its a last resort when nobody else is on, and you can't muster the courage to ask for a party using the new search feature. Now go find yourself a nice Conjurer.

I thought the difference between FFXI and FFXIV was that FFXIV was supposed to cater MORE to the solo casual player. If that's being changed, then it's being changed, but comments like this are contradictory to what the original intent of the game was?

Well I imagine that you can still solo your way up through leves just fine, but I do NOT believe it was intended for all classes to be able to spam Cure and have zero downtime.

FFXIV is more casual friendly with more solo FRIENDLY content, but that does not mean that you should be able to solo everything. In comparison to FFXI, even with the mana cost increase, FFXIV is still much more solo friendly than FFXI, until about 3 years ago.
