Ironically, I see more forcing from the solo end of the spectrum and seeing people being told "you should agree with this" than I do from the ones who like and want to actually party.
This is infuriating.

There's a mixed message in what you're trying to say that is absolutely false in one instance, but true in another.

For example: Story content that throws you alone into a solo instance - I completely agree with you. You should not be FORCED to solo when players want to play with you. This is why I say we should have the ability to ramp up the difficulty of these things as an option (with perhaps a default slider of difficulty raised when more players are in a story instance.)

The second half of this, is pourposfully making story content hard to force players to play in groups - that I cannot abide by. We can have things like Free Company storylines that focus on party play, so long as they give the option of choosing difficulty, but keep the main story's play solo-able as an option.
