7.0 MMO to a Single Player Game

[Kaurhz]

I don't mind it provided it is stuck exclusively to the main story - However, if the elements of solo-play branch out into the non-main story elements, e.g., the 8-man raids then I think it is going too far.

The thing to keep in mind is that it is currently:
a) Stuck exclusively to the main story-related instances.
b) It is entirely optional for the player. If a player wants to progress through the story with NPCs then they can do so. Equally, if players want to go through the story whilst queuing up regularly then they can do so.

The game is hardly telling you that you must progress solo, but rather you can progress solo if you want to.

Edit: If I'm being brutally honest, I don't think this game ever was a 'true' MMO, just a co-op game masquerading as an MMO.
