Why?

As if there wasn't a recent thread decrying solo players.

tbf, as someone who dropped raiding and started to play this game casually around STB, a lot of the resentment building towards solo players is a direct result of SE catering to them so hard and spending a lot of money, time and resources to change the game to make an mmo a single player experience. A genre specifically created for ppl to play together as a team. And for those of us who want more to do as a team, who want longer term content and play mmos to do more than show off our glams while afk in LL, the game is terribly thin, esp since everything outdates in a single patch. If SE would make this an mmo again and not a single player game with lite coop, this would not be such an issue. But no, they are just doubling down every patch by taking away anything interesting so their trusts can do it, specifically for soloists.

As if there wasn't a casual player who was basically forced out of the forums just a few months ago.

First I heard of that and I am on these forums relatively often. And what about reddit, where we had to create a whole new subreddit to even discuss the game due to a massive amount of ppl going nuts with even a small amount of criticism was dared to be uttered. Even I left it, when I said I was let down by EW and woke up to well over 2k downvotes. Many ppl were pushed off of things like reddit due to the absolute train wreck that is the official subreddit and the ferocity of the defenders, casuals and soloists.

We can get along, but let's not pretend its just one team forcing the divide. The only time one team holds near exclusivity is when it comes to crying victim.
