Why do people want solo play in an MMORPG?

[Jeronlmo]

I've played MMOs in my free time for many years and for me the biggest amount of pleasure has come from hanging with a really small group, like 2~4 people (close friends, husband etc) and just knocking out content where we could. A lot of fights were really fun and challenging and I hope that I can experience the same thing in 2.0.
Bigger groups seem to breed animosity; drops become such a cause of drama it's not even funny><.
It's like throwing a raw steak to a pack of starving dogs and expecting them to share. Totally not worth the trouble D:

I have seen many post like yours, and that is actually a very sad thing, ive watched many LS's from FF11 and FF14 and guilds from other games break over drops but the answer is kinda this... "Evil will prevail when good men do nothing", its like trying to find a non-profit company that truely does good for the world in RL, the people that get ahead are usually the same people that would replace employees with machines as soon as it becomes available, the fact that all of this is true is not because of the content, its because not enough of these people who get screwed over stand back up and do the job better.

The LS im in never has this problem luckily... we use points/attendance to do drops, there in no "seniority" even for the leader, our leader in FF11 was literally the gimpest member out of our 50ish members, he passed the chance to get I think 4 relics, when people joined us they literally never heard of him, they thought our main tank was the leader of the LS (including me when I joined).
