Game Has Gone to the Dogs

Super old post, but still kinda relevant.

Guildwars 2 I can play entirely solo and have loads of fun just goofing around in the world. They have lots of spontaneous events like races/coin grabs/mini games. Good, Mario-kart-esque races mind you, not the nonsense we have in FFXIV.

When I play GW2, I don't much care for the story overall, but the actual engine lends itself to good fun and shenanigans.

That said, if you want a game to be soloable, make the game fully soloable a la GW2. Or make the game require partying up and making friends a la Everquest or original FF11. Don't half arse it. This nonsense with "sometimes you'll have NPCs in the trials/dungeons, but sometimes not tee hee!" is awful.
