Please Give Support For Solo Savage Raids

[Seera1024]

I said the same thing a while ago, everything in this game should have a solo option, as FF14 is not a real MMO along the lines of WoW, no matter how hard you try to deny it.

Everybody is doing the MSQ (the selling factor of the game) for themselves and themselves only.
There is no real ‘open world’ that is the framework for every MMO. It’s small instances connected through loading screens, there is no valid reason or necessity to interact with anyone, as everyone is doing THEIR story anyway, half the people you see is in cutscenes, the other half is interacting with seemingly invisible things. It could even come as a NUISANCE to some people.

Dungeons and even trials that are necessary for progression can already be run with NPC bots, or a matchmaking of random people you’ll never see again, from a pool of half a dozen servers, which basically equals to bots.

There is no reason, at any point in the game, to specifically seek socialization with other players, for any reason that is non-superficial like 3 cat girls admiring each other’s tennis shoes, or doing some super edge “RP”. Because of this, there is NO natural accumulation of friends at ANY stage in the game.

But yet, after having played a single player game with glamoured “bots” around from start to end, they expect you to suddenly have 7 friends.

That being said even single player games sometimes have multiplayer aspects that aren't soloable.

Savage raids are just fine being content that can't be easily soloable either due to how much overleveled we aren't yet unsynced or due to mechanics.

They expect that by the time you're considering doing some of the hardest content in game that you'd have made some friends either via just randomly chatting with people or through an FC. That's not too much to ask of people.

I wouldn't say no to the suggestion some have had of adding another means to obtain the glamour items from savages from previous EP's to the game. Such as the aforementioned buy with tons more tomes from the normal mode.
