Can't we do anything solo and improve?

[vilgryn]

Why do we always have to rely on Duty and Party just to improve your character? where you can't really get any party mostly at the time when people are sleeping and you're one of those people who play very late? Once you get a Duty/Party, there's a chance that there will be a person with a negative attitude that you have to deal with or get irritated even if you try to ignore.

I mean, can't you play anytime you wish anymore? Yes, you can log-in very late, but to what?

There are servers with different "prime times" find one that best fits you and go there.

I also Notice there are barely any fate grinding going on

It's an MMO, what did you expect? Although there are some solo levelling content such as levequests, beast tribe dailies.

There are many variations of an 'MMO', not all have forced-group content needed to unlock core features or character progression; FFXIV is a throw-back to the dark ages with the likes of EQ and FFXI where this is concerned.

If you are looking for great solo experience, what made you pick an MMO?

[Delsus]

If you want a solo game go play an offline one, if your playtime is making queues longer your best bet would be to move to an EU server, but that only sounds like half of your problem, the other half is rudeness in the DF, but that is everywhere would you stop going outside if a minority of people near you in RL were being rude? Probably not, you would just deal with it, the attitude of the minority of players ingame are no different. So you have 3 choices, deal with your issues and stay where you are, move to another server with a better primetime for you (you are on a NA server now, so I would suggest am EU server seeing as you mentioned playing late night) or quit playing and play offline games where you can solo to your hearts consent.

You just compared FFXIV to FFXI, in FFXI you would not even be halfway to level cap by now if you were casual. Everything in this game is so easy minus some technical fights. I personally think the game should encourage more grouping.

[Autymnfyres]

You gotta be seriously kidding me with that comparison? Not by many, many miles is there any comparison heh...grouping was a GOOD thing in EQ. It was at the heart of the immersion and the play.

I'm already in endgame phase and have every job at the max level. I have every role (Tank/Healer/DPS) geared up (ilvl80+) for endgame, and I noticed that you all you do in the game is duty every time you log in. I also play at earlier times, which means I'm not only ranting for my own purpose.

If you try to understand my post even more; I do not wish to play solo ALL THE TIME. I just want to play and be able to do something ANYTIME I can.

This goes for other players, not just me.
