I don't get all this hatred against solo friendly content / leveling.

Yes, it's a MMORPG, YES, leveling in a party is generally more fun than doing it alone but ffs, why is such a bad idea to have the option of soloing there so you are NOT forced to shout for two hours before you are able to kill something and progress your character? What if you actually do prefer to level up alone for the most part? Does it ruin your game so much if someone out there is minding his own business killing coblyns by himself in broken water while you're in a party killing raptors in the other side of Eorzea?

As long as leveling up in parties is both faster to level up and more rewarding in general, I don't see the problem.

That said, I agree a lot with the OP.
