Soloing is not the issue here. There should be a plentiful amount of low and mid game group (along with solo) content to work your way through while leveling. Dungeons, open world NM's, 'horizontal class progression' (such as fighting the avatars as you leveled up SMN in XI, or hunting BLU spells, etc), and party based story content. PLing to 50 and focusing purely on end game raids is not what I would consider a good sense of 'progression', but I seem to be in the minority here
