This should not affect endgame activities since roulettes, extremes, savages, and ultimates still require you to group up with other players.
Basically this. This is why I feel folks are overblowing what's being done. The game isn't suddenly going to become some barren wasteland where most players play solo. All they're doing is adding options to the game to appeal to more players. (Which is good for funding and the health of the game). You'll still be able to run your savages, your EXs, your Eureka zones, roulettes etc with folks.

If that's an issue for people then I say I hope you find a better game for yourself.
