Locked out of future MSQ progression?

WoW has solo scenarios for story and challenges. GW2 has some solo things (not specifically inside instances, but in the open world too). I remember SWTOR having solo instances for some of the story stuff, too (but then again, I haven't played that since way before it went F2P).

Just because it's an MMO, doesn't mean that it 100% requires people to play together, 100% of the time. There's nothing wrong with an MMO that has a solo instance here and there.

No, at no point in GW2 you are forced to leave party to do solo duties, two people doing the story together at the same time can progress through solo duties together and it counts for both, there's no reason why 2 people playing together should be forced to disband and continue solo, that's poor game design.

Content tuned for soloing is fine, forbidding people from partying up is not, the option should always be there.
