WoTG is a funny bit of FFXI history, a lot were actually tired of doing it because of the gaps in storyline being released, why?

You're posting on the forum of the very reason people gave up in general on doing that. You didn't answer why it's ok to be forced to solo but not vice versa. For a bunch of people who seem to want choices, people sure are defaulting to an option they prefer.
