I don’t know an open world in any MMO, where half the people are in cutscenes and the other half is talking to invisible NPCs that I can’t even see, cause they are at their own specific stage. Mind guiding me to it, cause I wanna check that game out.Oh good, somewhere to dump this troll feed I've been carrying.
Except for all of the parts you need to group up with other people in order to complete, right?
Any MMO open world is singleplayer if you choose to ignore everyone else.
I mean, sure? But good luck making money off of it solely on your own...

There's a reason that's an achievement; because it wasn't meant for you to do it like that, but the devs want to acknowledge people who go the extra mile. This is game design 101.
I have encountered dozens of situations where I could have made friends if I wanted to, Diadem chatter being one of the biggest, something that's ACTUALLY majorly singleplayer. Sounds like someone isn't putting in the effort to be social, and is blaming the game because of it.
Every game has RMT, because it's next-to-impossible to police. WoW, having been around and popular for much longer than FFXIV, never really solved RMT, and had to add the WoW Token as a way to combat it.
Be that as it may, just because the story events are specific to them doesn't mean that the world is singleplayer. There are FATES, gathering, Hunts, Leves, and a lot of quests that don't have to involve only one person.
Also, pick-and-choosy much?

Finally some common sense.
There is no single design aspect that would make you meet friends and/or future guild members the natural way, yet to fully get my moneys worth and finish all content, I have to magically have 7 people, people that I never met because all of the game was SP as mentioned in the first place.

MMO = Massive Multiplayer Online game.
Is the game massive? I'd say so. It has a very large world and story to play through.
Is it multiplayer? Yep, there is definitely more than 1 person playing the game right now.
Is it online? Yes, you do in fact need an internet connection in order to play.
I'd say this game fits the bill perfectly. There's no supposed about it.
If anything they should cut it out with the solo duties. I hate questing with a friend or being in a party with someone chilling out to then have to drop my group to do a scenario.
Let us do them together. Or at the very least make it so we don't have to drop group just to do a single quest.
Instead of making the game even more single player, they should encourage group play, or at the very least not discourage it.
do the trolls not even TRY any more?
I don't feel like that's viable with pretty much all of them having mechanics that just require a bunch more players, but adding an explorer mode would be pretty cool, some of the scenes are really pretty.
They have a trust trial in endwalker for the first time... its possible to add trust versions of all other fights, just would take forever to implement... i think all content will have trust versions at some point in the distant future. This will be once the servers have shut down and they can just sell the game as a single player game.
