Solo and Open World Relevancy

[Adualion]

I'm sick of not having a sense of adventure in the open world as well. FFXI had a couple of things right, and one of them was needing to party up to explore the areas that held hard enemies. I'm not asking for sneak/invis/deodorize, but I'd really like the open world to engage me in the exploration. I would not be able to number the amount of times where I made a group to specifically run around in the dangerous areas of a place just for the fun of it. It was really fun for me to try to explore an area with some friends when I could be killed by an enemy.

My point exactly..

I want to be able to tackle any relevant content with a particularly low number of people or even by myself (if mechanics allow it obviously). I'm not asking to change the obvious intentional progression block they've created (weekly cap/lockout), but to allow me the satisfaction of being an individual and otherwise stagnant game.

I thought setting undersized and then going into Brayflox Normal was exciting. But seeing as how there's no reason to do it because of no rewards (not even xp or gil from the mobs), was a turn-off. I bet if they allow gil and xp to be gained from undersized, I know I, myself, would still run the low level dungeons.

Yes! In FFXI, going alone something gave me fear on the inside. In FFXIV, I do not have that fear.
