Yeah you have your instances but MMOs these days are:

Hub City > Solo > Instances > Solo Instances > Hub city > Instances > Solo instances.

Remember when MMOs used to be about grouping up and exping/exploring with each other?
I know, right? Why just the other day I finished up my solo runs of Darkhold, Ifrit, Moogles, roaming NMs and the Beastmen Strongholds and I thought "geez, what good is calling this an MMO if I can just breeze through it alone?"

Not every single aspect of an MMO has to require a full party like XI. XIV doesn't have much emphasis on grinding out levels. Instead, the focus is on actual battles and other such content.
