Trust should go up to trails

Not anymore apparently. The supposed biggest MMO currently can be played to max level solo without ever needing to be in a party.

You miss out on a lot by avoiding group content in WoW. You miss out on story content, big chunks of faction reputation that would otherwise take a long time to farm, the ability to get to a certain level of faction standing because it requires dungeon completion and even being able to unlock certain races. And those races are not hidden. The first thing you see when you make a character is a lot of races that you cannot access.

So yea while you can get to max lvl in WoW without entering a single dungeon by avoiding group content you are depriving yourself of a lot, especially in end-game if you continue to avoid group content because most content at that point is aimed at groups. Going back to the whole "mmos encourage teamplay" thing.

And I've seen people complaining that you can't yet solo the hardest difficulty raid of the previous expansion. (Apparently this is a thing in that big MMO, soloing previous expansions hardest difficulty raid bosses.)

This is because people still do them to get minions and mounts. Doing that has been a thing in WoW for over a decade. Before the lvl squish people could solo them easily but since then it's often impossible. Finding groups for that content isn't easy and even if you do if that ultra rare mount drops you end up competing with others for the loot. Before the lvl squish you could do it on your own without worrying about someone else taking the super rare loot. The lvl squish removed a popular activity players had been already doing solo for over a decade. This is why they complain.

EDIT: and when I say super rare I meant SUPER rare. You can do some raids weekly for several years and never see a mount drop.
