    This game isn't really any different to most other "MMOs" these days, they have largely gone from a genre where they were far more "massively multiplayer" to one that is largely solo/segmented multiplayer, for a couple of reasons:

    1 - They have largely removed things that "encouraged" meaningful grouping, in particular they removed things that "encouraged" grouping with people other than your little huddle of friends, e.g - difficult open world content, public dungeons that you had to travel to, separating PvP & PvE into their own servers, large raids, etc.

    2 - The playerbase has deteriorated so now what is left of the MMO playerbase is less about MMO or RPG and more about a thinly disguised skinner box, and games are designed accordingly to fit that.

    There are exceptions, EVE Online for instance.
