I don't really get what the point of the post is? The game is built to be played online, so even if someone wanted to preserve the game after it gets shut down in the far future it's not going to be something that people can just solo through. At least not without boosting their stats to god tier levels and doing all the content unsync. There is always the complaint that the people running around in genre bending outfits and clown suits ruin the immersion (and yes, this happened in Shadowbringers when we had the "Viera Wii Fit Trainer" get stuck in the QTE event with everyone else wearing their serious business suits, but that's a bit of a different subject than simply saying they should never require 24 people to gather in order to do story mode content.

If anything, I think constantly nerfing things in normal modes is the worst strategy MMO companies have come up with forever. Yes, Cataclysm in WoW was too much, but there should be at least something in the game that challenges people or there is no point in calling it a game.
