Same thing with the crafter's quests you mentioned. All those things depend you on and the time invested..
And interacting with other people in order to beat difficult content is exactly the kind of thing that makes the MMO genre unique and games like XIV interesting, if you want to beat challenging super bosses without interacting with others, might I direct you to the 12 or so other games in this franchise that might be more up your alley?
Why play an online game if all you want to do is get into a level and beat it while treating the 7 other people there like NPC's? And more importantly why should these online games change the way they're designed to cater to that kind of playstyle?
