This topic made me like "whut" No sure if person is trolling.

If you don't like Multiplayers. Stop play.

MMOs are time consuming games by definition. And this game has more solo content than any of them, except XI after it was nerfed enough to make everything soloable due to lack of players. If you want solo dungeons, wait a few patches when they'll implement Adventurer Squadrons to help you.

If you don't want to have to do things with other people, there are plenty of games with no multiplayer capabilities whatsoever. Play one of those instead.

Not to mention we've already seen the issues that arise when people don't understand their class due to leveling it via ulterior methods. A few people in my FC always cringed when they saw a Kima weapon for example and were rarely pleasantly surprised to see that the person actually knew what they were doing. More often than not the player did not understand the class at all, but was still trying to do progression anyways in spite of that lack of knowledge. That isn't to say people who spammed PoTD or even PVP to get their level are lazy or incompetent. Just that when they do get lazy, it's VERY noticeable. Especially if they're a healer or heaven forbid a tank who isn't willing to learn after getting their levels. Likewise with this expansion we've had the boost potions and the complaints against them have been fairly steady of likewise people not understanding either how to play their job or even work with a party at all. I can only see Adventurer Squadrons as having similar results, sadly. Perhaps even worse because at least in PoTD you are interacting with other people so you can get SOME feel for how the dungeons and other content might operate and how to work as something of a team. SE's rather piss poor AI doesn't endear any hopes that that will be the case here, at least for me. (Unless they're programmed like in the 70 SCH quest, in which case I'd have more faith.)

OP is nothing but a potion jumper that wants instant gratification, he doesn't even know he is a tank ffs. Spare me, that#s what you get when you open a can of worms. Thanks a lot SE

So stop with the forced multiplayer dungeons already!
Make them solo for MSQ and then have them be raid-hard for repeating. In queue for over 20 minutes now. Not every one has time to waste like this.
Dont say play a tank or healer either. That is not a solution and beyond stupid to say because then we'd all be tanks and healers and no other jobs. And you dont always have 8 people in an fc willing to run dungeons. This is an unacceptable design idea from SE.

They'd have to retune every bit of instanced content with the MSQ to be handled solo, and doing that for all classes would be a LOT of work.

A better bet would be to just create a party finder party looking for a tank or just /sh in a major city seeing if there are any tanks who'd be up for a run through it. Most dungeons take less than 20 mins so I don't think it'd be that bad.

Also, as others have said, make friends and have them queue with you as a tank while you do the same for them if/when they need it.

No but you can easily become one.

Snip snap stuff about the R in mmorpg and "multiplayer means there's more people there not that i actually interact with them"

First of all, as you have already been told, Roleplaying game =/= roleplaying but rather describes an immersive setting where the game treats you as if you were your character, like Skyrim, which is undoubtedly a rpg but the most roleplaying the average player does there is probably playing through their adult mods.
Now, as for the multiplayer part, while it is indeed not necessary to force group content onto players, allowing everyone to solo play their way up to raids would be a huge waste of server space. Most people don't even do raids, so dungeons and trials are the standart group content, and if you let players do those alone you might as well give them a single player rpg with chat and maybe a lobby to meet up with others. I know that there is other MMOs who allow this, but the thing is that ffxiv has decided their way of handling things, and introduces players to this early on when you get three dungeons in a row starting as early as level 15.
I am not denying that there is a problem when dps have to wait 40 minutes to even get into a dungeon, but at the same time, when those very dps know they could not only switch role but simply ask a tank or healer if they can help them out, but refuse to do either of those, and focus on complaining about their wait times instead of even thinking of leveling a crafter or gatherer to spend the wait, there isn't really much to be done to help you with.

Why do people walk into MMOs expecting to do story from start to finish SOLO?
