Why do people want solo play in an MMORPG?

[Klefth]

These people should just play offline games if soloing everything is what they want.

I keep thinking that people with that mindset is just playing the wrong genre and trying to like it. And yes, this is indeed ruining this genre since many of it's elements need to be made much more simple and easier in order for it to be soloable.

Except they arent playing the wrong genre. Some people like both, the option to do either in the same world (you cant have that in an offline game), some people like to play online in a live world (you cant have that in an offline game).

Obviously by SE actions they are going semi-ly this direction. They have group content, they have solo content.

Perhaps you are playing the wrong game. (I hate it when people say this.. -_-)

Thanks Shogun, There is nothing in the acronym MMORPG that requires you party up or be forced into playing with others. Massive - lots of players. Multiplayer - more than one person playing at once. Online - Over a network connection. Role Playing Game - to take on the persona of a character and play that role in a fantasy setting.

My favorite definition for MMORPG is Mostly Men Online Role Playing Girls.
