You're talking about soloing as if it's some negligible thing.

A sizeable chunk of the initial playerbase for FFXIV was drawn to it because of its advertised ability to accommodate solo and party play alike. Much of these players have been disappointed along the way due to soloing becoming more difficult with successive patches. The new class/job system seeks to restore that balance of being able to cater to both, and the system is still being fleshed out.

So no, soloing isn't something that should just be dismissed. The class system is what needs to cater to the crowd that likes to solo.
