Solo play is done, and it's important to acknowledge it.

To that end, I agree that an being able to provide support to our party doesn't actually solve all the problems if it isn't engaging. If someone is just targeting all the party members to cast the buffs, one at a time, at all times, that does not address the issue of monotonous tedium. We need something engaging, we don't need something tacked on just because "it might be nice to have it" (or do you need a repeat of Stormblood Lilies?).
