Your logic, black mage, also works against the current system implemented.

You state that the social aspect is a choice, not inherent in design. However this is false in a sense and easily proven by the argument you use in defense of players doing the "best" content.

The flaw in this logic is that the "best content" doesn't inherently create social experiences by its own design at the games current state, nor does it foster a social experience. Now to make a choice in most situations a human is presented a stimulus with conditions. If the existing conditions can be done solo (everyone having all crafts at 50 for example) then the social implications are not enforced.

Yes anyone can look at a stick and RP that its a boat amidst a devastating storm, etc. But to actually insert that situation into reality rather than relying on players imagination is a different thing altogether.
