Someone please explain how to SP solo.

umm this game was advertised as a solo MMO, up to now its been fine. FFXI was fine. Almost every MMO is fine. 1.18 just messed things up and im sure in like 2 weeks someone will find some legit exploit like a certain mob or something that you can grind on for good sp like in every other patch so far.

I've never heard of XIV being advertised as a solo game, only "casual friendly." Solo and casual are two different things. MOST of the game's content right now is very casual friendly, as advertised. Like XI, XIV seems to emphasize party play. I honestly think patch 1.18 didn't break soloing, but fixed it, as sp/exp was too high, and along with that, also fixed partying, by making it the better option. If partying isn't the better option no one will do it.
I'm sure sp and exp will continue to be monitored and some changes will be made, but I have a feeling sp/exp is closer to where it should be NOW than before 1.18.
I've been soloing most of the time, and I feel exp is fine as is. I have no reason to rush to max level.

Soloing, I don't think you will be able to find the kind of exp you're looking for, but if I figure out anything I'll post it.
