Why is SE promoting Solo-Players so much??

[Morphemes]

You can't cater to a group dynamic without first understanding the individual. Shortcuts in this regard produce bad results. This goes both ways.

Also, I don't know if you get out in the virtual social scene much, but the layout of the world lends itself to group play. Its difficult to see if you're used to every other mmo out there, but the game only seems to focus on solo players, but in actuality, it is story based content that you are likely misjudging as 'solo' candy. And yet, in a way it really is solo appeasement... but, if you didn't like playing the game alone by your computer (aka solo) then you wouldn't like the game.
