Ok you're making a lot of assumptions in that post so let me address them.
1. The game became official when it was released, hence why they're calling the "new" version 2.0. I'd really not like my topic to be turned into this arguement, but the fact that I'm using the forums for exactly what they're meant for: Providing feedback and making suggestions, does not imply that I'm impatient. I'm making suggestions for future content.
2. You seem to be implying that I'm talking about solo play, which I'm not. I'm talking about light parties as opposed to all full party content, because quite frankly yes you do need 8 people to beat ifrit or darkhold, or get passed the thrid gate in a stronghold.
3. You seem to be implying that I have a problem with the above^ or challenging content in general. THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM SAYING. I am saying that it would be nice to have a variety of content to participate in. I don't see the harm in a 4 person instanced raid at 50 for people who can't get an 8 person party, or some other new type of content in general.
4. I have yet to see a situation in the game where someone has to "wait" for someone else to be done with a dungeon in order to participate. Nor do I see how instanced content can be monopolized. If anything, people like you believe that content should only be available to large groups of well equipped players with multiple 50s is a much better example of "monopolized" content, as fewer people get to participate in it.
5. You imply that the fact that I want some content for light parties is a reflection on my in game social skills or that I don't have a linkshell. That is a pretty big reach.
6. You imply that I don't think SE is doing a good job with the updates, which I never said. I simply said there could be some middle ground between a few things end game that require a full party and easy content in the R20s which most players do not spend a whole lot of time that rank anyways with how easy it is to level.
