Why do people want solo play in an MMORPG?

[Velhart]

EXP grinding is better, dungeons are great, but not leveling in dungeons. This is comming from seeing it done in every other game, the majority of exp you get in WoW is from dungeon spamming, the dungeons are dumbed down because they know people are learning... people really arent learning but its the idea behind having gimp dungeons.

I will politely disagree. I like some objective dangled in my face when doing something. Grinding mobs is nothing but a chore and a real test of your patience which the general MMO player base outside of FFXI/FFXIV do not usually have. Rather you consider quests just another form of grinding is up to you, but it at least attempts to make you explore the areas of the game, and have reasoning behind it, rather it is silly or not. Any attempt to keep me immersed with the world is better than just sitting there hitting the enter key all day staring at the same mob, its utterly boring and I still ask myself how I had the patience to do it back in the day.

You are not wrong in your opinion at all, it is simply how I look at it.

You literally just described a RPG.

Well, there is "RPG" at the end of "MMORPG" isn't there?
