What worked well with FF XI, and the other MMOs of the past, is that people grouped together, made teams, to do contents, quests, grind mobs, explore areas, etc. They were used to do most everything in a group. Those days are gone and now MMOs are made for solo players to solo everything on their own, which I'm personally not happy about.

What drove me to play MMOs is the social aspect, meet people, do contents with them, do activities together with others, etc.

FF XIV is built even more for the solo players, since you cannot do even the MSQ with someone, or your jobs' quests with someone, or other quests like Hildibrant's quests with someone. In other MMOs like City of Villains you could share with your friends or guildies quests you had taken, but here? Nada. So imagine you want to explore Sea of Clouds, and in the old days of MMOs you'd think "it's no biggie, I'll hang in town and ask around", but here you probably won't get an answer, since everyone is soloing everything.

Also, exploration if a key feature of an MMO, there is no point to make pretty zones no one can explore. Personally I like exploring, but it's not doable in Heavensward. Exploring the zones should be soloable because unlike the old MMOs, trying to find people to go in there and team up is not possible. Everyone is used to do everything the solo way, except for dungeons, trials and raids of course.
