    Solo Avatar fights

    I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but for us casual players we'd love to see some avatar fights that can be solo-able for example the summoner fight from ffxiv. Its just that with my work schedule i cant dedicate to a linkshell and i'm sure there are others out there like me. There should be some reward for people who solo to lvl50.
    would be awesome if that reward is a solo Avatar fight. We already can't do regular nm's solo so thats taking nothing away from the hardcore players.

    Won't be any primals (hopefully), but I recall yoshida mentioning lesser summons like carbuncle for summoners, so there's a good possibility for lesser summons to have a solo vs party version.

    As long as the solo fight does not give anything besides maby some gil and XP I have no issues with it. If it gives good rewards then I easily say no.

    As for regular nms, hardcore do not do them either because they are all negated with 1.19+ gear.

    Forcing Solo player (what it will be if solo=group) is not what a mmo should be about. No one will group if you can go in and solo it.

    People will still group the hardest enemies from FFXI were not the avatars they were regular hnms and the game is still work in progress. My point is why not reward the player who would pay the same fee but just dont have the time because of RL.

    I don't really have time to look for groups and such and usually end up soloing. Even though I play mostly solo, I enjoy being part of a mmo community and crafting, helping others. I think it would be a great idea to add difficult solo challenges for players as well as group content.

    The avatars fight that grants weapons can't be solo'd, the solos one only grants the ability to summon. Also, the fight is 15min long at most.

    I would be all for adding this if there was some reason to. If you were wanting this for the primals that currently exist... just... no. What purpose would that serve? You wouldn't get any weapons, and aside from that, there really isn't any other reason to do them.

    If you prematurely stating this for some unknown future content, then sure. Primals though? No.

    Maybe not everyone out there thinks that unique weapons and gear matter that much to them. Maybe there are people, like the OP, who just want to be able to fight cool battles Gear and weapons are a great goal to strive for, but not everyone cares about that. If people want to solo a primal battle, then sure, why not? They just wouldn't receive the same awesome stuff that group players would get.
