FF14 devs just keep doing your thing because my god

I have 5 level 60's in SL, I think the one who hasn't played WoW is you. You can get 1-60 in Classic via Solo Mage Grinding or even questing solo and you can skip Raiding early on with green drops and crafting. In Modern you can 1-60 with Solo Questing, I don't see your point bruh

You obviously don't know what you're talking about if you're using being able to solo grind as a mage in Classic to try and say you can always complete the game solo. Try solo grinding in Classic on a Warrior. You also had to form your own groups because dungeon finder wasn't a thing, you had to form groups to protect against PvP, and you had to form groups so people wouldn't steal your mobs.

You still haven't mentioned how a game able to be played completely solo is being designed as an MMO "first" btw. The fact of the matter is if you think that modern WoW is developed as an MMO first you don't play modern WoW or you're being disingenuous. Really that simple. Blizzard abandoned their "MMO first" ideals when they shifted WoW to being the ultimate Themepark.

I'll use your example from earlier, modern WoW is an instanced based game like Genshin Impact. I would say it's multiplayer but you can skip all that so grindy lobby game without the cute girls for appeal I guess. Would that fit your definition?
