Why do people want solo play in an MMORPG?

[AdorraEloom]

Having solo content is fine. Sometimes I want to just be left alone and play the game. Its when they make it TOO solo that it becomes a problem, which is what some people want (weather they are admitting it or not).

I don't think you have to worry about the game being "TOO solo", after all it is an mmo, like many people have said, there is something for everyone in ARR. And trust me after you stand around for 2-3 hours waiting to find the perfect level 10-12 xp grind party, while your friends went out and did some quests alone and are now level 20, you too will jump on the quest wagon!

You will get to experience that in ARR too, it will just be more organized, you wont have to be alone for 5 hours holding a mob waiting for people to log on, you can go do some solo stuff and when everyone logs on, than you all go as a group and kill your hard dragon or primal or what ever else ARR has in store.
