Social anxiety and lack of network is a thing too. Many people find it hard to make friends in the game or find people that will fit their lifestyle.

There are FCs specifically for people with social anxiety.
And besides, I'd like to kindly you remind you that MMO still stands for massively multiplayer online. While this does not mean people with social anxiety should not play this game at all it is a subtle hint that this game also includes group content and that if you prefer to play alone for whatever reason this type of content is probably not for you. But using this as an excuse to prevent this content from ever being implemented for people who would is selfish beyond words.
It's nothing more than "Someone might not be able to have it so nobody should have it!".
Social anxiety exists. Physical and cognitive disabilities exist. Extremely busy shift work exists. Poor internet/ hardware exists.
They all exist and get acknowledged by the devs. They hinder some people from experiencing the game the same way that others do but that does not mean that everything must be designed in a way that enables people to experience every type of content the same way people without social anxiety/ disabilities/ poort internet/ busy schedule would.
This is not elitmism, it's called reality.
The game tries its best to cater to those people aswell with things like colorblind mode, playing it with a controller or m/kb, option to pug or come back later unsync/ with echo etc.
But suggesting that content designed for more sociable people who enjoy guild events and such should not be implemented because single person FCs and people with social anxiety exists is taking it too far. You are denying content to a huge amount of players because part of them may not enjoy doing it.

People already be salty because savage has extra content to it that a casual can't access. you want more of that? how long have you been playing the game? you should know by now that's not how the dev philosophy works here.

Since ARR launch, thanks for asking. Which means I've been around long enough to know that the philosophy regarding some types of content changed. And you keep thinking that just because someone cannot get rewards as fast as people who put in more effort is excluded. A casual is not excluded from savage or its rewards. They may get their rewards at a later date than people who are pushing but they do not get excluded.
They are simply not welcome in e5-e8 weekly clear parties if they have never set foot into savage and only want that pretty piece of armor, which is quite reasonable.

I disagree. Fun should be first and foremost. Yoshi-p said it himself. "If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong." True fun is subjective. but what the devs do accomplishes making things fun and encompasses the majority of the playerbase.

And in no way did I say that fun is not important which you would have noticed if you spent time actually reading and understanding what I wrote instead of jumping to conclusions and implying things I never wrote. I simply wrote that the fact that a game is supposed to be fun cannot be used as an excuse for everything. Because that's what it boils down to: wanting something that has been designed with a different type of player in mind and then saying "But I thought a game is supposed to be fun! So why can't I get it the way I want?".
There are players who enjoy solo-play and story, who love crafting, gathering and all sorts of grindy stuff, who enjoy challenging group content, who enjoy collecting things... and naturally, different content is tailored to different types of players with some overlapping which is impossible to avoid.
Not all content will be to your liking because the playerbase is quite diverse in its interests. And to keep it as diverse, every group needs some content that's for them.

i would suggest go playing another game that would satisfy this interest then.

Yes, because "play something different then if you don't like it!" is such a fantastic argument when someone criticises your posts.
I'm touched you are so worried about me not having fun but I can assure you, I do. I simply don't agree with you. So let's stop using this as an excuse to get me to shut up, shall we?
