Best and only good solution in MMOs? Options. If people prefer not to deal with other people they should have the ability to choose so. They just need to expand trust to all story dungeons. Obviously this should also work in the way that you should be able to choose how many bots you want with you so you can play with your friends if you want.

If giving people options makes it so nobody "teams up" anymore, it was just a facade from the beginning. What i'm saying is that they never were any more or less social. People who want to socialize, socialize. People who don't want to, won't. Simple as that. It's just not done out of necessity to progress anymore.
