That people love to do with a loved one for example. The main thing is, the fact you're forced to solo now generally, hence why some don't want the ability to solo the whole thing.

Though given recent trend, they're clearly moving more toward party play and allowing people to do quests together, and if anything AF quests are probably a good example of what a party based questline is going to be like. They're difficult, not soloable but you don't exactly NEED a full party.
