Automated matchmaking is so choice though. I remember MMO's before automated matchmaking, and honestly I don't want to go back there. It's so much slower and clunkier. Heck, the reason I finally quit FF11 was because the manual nature of getting groups together was just too slow to get anything done in a reasonable period of time. And in my experience, Party Finder is only a slight improvement compared to that.

As for solo...I love playing with other people! They're half the fun in this game. ^^
