You can still solo level, but people are generally arguing for solo content which SE is actually moving away from because people also wanted challenging content which sorry to say, but you can't create content that's challenging for solo and groups and expect the balance to be perfect.
That's not what's being argued here. The argument is that I shouldn't have to submit my time to the player community in order to make decent progress on the most mundane task in the game. I am perfectly willing and capable of grouping up for those parts of the game that should explicitly require a group, and I'm also willing to participate in the player economy. But to find 3-7 other people to go mindlessly kill monsters for no other reason than to watch a meter go up? That's fucking retarded, and I can't fathom how any sane person could support such an idea. How about we try it with some more mundane tasks? Brushing your teeth? Washing the dishes? Folding laundry? Let's find a way to make these tasks such massive chores that they're only doable in a reasonable amount of time with the help of others.

Or we could, you know, leave mundane tasks to the individual, and save the need to collaborate on stuff that's a bit more complicated than "swing weapon, kill monster" for 4 hours.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to "swing weapon, kill monster" for 4 hours.
