Why do people want solo play in an MMORPG?

I think the biggest problem is how long and how much time you have to waste sometimes just to form a party. I waited 3 hours to get in a full party once, i was really annoyed, then after like a couple fights some peeps were like, "oh it's getting late, gotta go." killing the exp chain/raid/quest/whatever. I love partying! Love the social stuff, but lesbihonest, sometimes party formations can be a b****. Hopefully this will change in 2.0 though.

If you take FFXI as an example, say i played from 6pm to 2am as i did, you could spend easily 1- 3 hours of that LFP even as WHM, then add on 45 mins to get to a camp. Sometimes youd be lucky and the party would run sweet as a nut, other times youd get to a camp and the party would dissolve after 20 mins, or people would go afk. That was the most frustrating time sink ever and i dont want to see it make a return in FFXIV.

You do not need to worry. In 2.0 there is a content finder where finding a party for a specific dungeon is very easy apparently. Although I would kind of miss having to walk to the entrance of the dungeon rather than get teleported to it automatically. In fact they should make it so you have to get to the entrance of dungeon before being able to use it in content finder.
