After playing FFXI for a few weeks, cant wait for Trusts!

If you want mostly solo play maybe a MMO isn't for you. The second M stands for multiplayer, and the first one stands for massively.

This game already is a great deal of solo play outside of dungeons and raids, much of the early story and various quests throughout flat out ban you from being in a party

And it is easy enough to say "maybe this game isn't for you and you should play something else if you don't want to play a game where the second M means Multiplayer" but /some people/ play games for the story, or for the character creation, or for the ability to feel like they're on an adventure or just in general enjoying a good game.

Not to sound harsh but everyone has different likes, dislikes, and wants, what's important to one person may mean nothing to another.

Saying that people should go play something else if they can't deal with being around others whether it's because of a social anxiety issue or just not really enjoying that for other reasons is basically like telling those people that if they aren't going to enjoy the whole game they can go away because who cares if they enjoy everything else they aren't needed in-game.

Personally I used to use FFXI as my only real way of comfortably interacting with people growing up but ultimately I was always more inclined to play solo at my own pace for the story and character creation, it can be very difficult to go through XIV without a few trusted friends who you don't need to worry about having snap at you during dungeons, and if you don't really have that then what?

Why should anyone be excluded from enjoying the parts of a game that they enjoy because they happen to have difficulty with other people? Now, that being said when the day comes when they release FFXIV as a single player offline game I'm absolutely going to buy it, but until then I'd imagine many people will have to cope, so~ giving them a way to play the game fully is quite considerate if they do expand on trusts.
