I find hard believing you're saying this, as you're playing FFXIV, a game that can be solo'd to max level. But more importantly, you're playing a MMO. Playing in groups is a foundation of this genre of games.

Huh?
I think you missed what i was saying there. If a game only form of higer level content is group play what happens when the pop dies off. People stop doing lower teir group progression ie a year from now when we have coil turns 10-15. You cannot do anything post 50 without a group of people that is rewarding other than craft and spiritbond...both systems have been pushed way to the side( read yoshis response on crafting being worthless).
There is nothing wrong with group play but when it litterly is the only thing you have to do after you hit 50. I mean the game lacks solo high level challenges. I have really no reason to go out and do anything by myself.

Just to give everyone a little back ground info as to the current game design. When FFXIV flopped in 2011, Yoshi-P took over and had a few polls for people that bought the game to give their opinion. We give him our answers for several different questions regarding core game design. Here is the poll for the whole instance debate: Player Poll 2. As you can see, it was clear consensus. The people who picked up FFXIV wanted to do away with a lot of the head aches FFXI had.

While I see your argument there you miss that there only have been answers which were provided by SE. They haven't classified any of those solo based content or whatsoever. The answers were pretty limited. On the other hand how the fucking heck did the gatherers came up so high? XD haha
