Having group content is awesome and we should have more, but I also believe that unless the content is intended as more of a hardcore (i.e. savage) then it should still have an option of being done solo (even if it wouldn't be an optimal choice) for convenience of those who cannot group up as often for whatever reason. The times when most MMO players had the luxury of playing several hours every day are long past. There are other games to play (a lot of which are also online and require some level of commitment), and there's real life to live. We're not high school students having only WoW at our disposal anymore, it's not 2003.

And the fact that DevTeam is making soloable content means there's a demographic that needs it. I don't see any good in cutting that part of the playerbase off for the sake of "but we can want to play in group" when, frankly, no one stops us from playing in one to begin with.

If someone's only motivation to group with others at all times is being entirely unable to go solo - I feel like the issue at that point is not within the content having an option to clear it in different ways. Write into that FC chat of yours and gather people together. We do it in ours as often as our busy schedules and time zone differences allow. The fact there're are also things we can make solo doesn't stop us from playing together, and if nothing else means that we can still enjoy the game even when barely anyone is online due to logging in at an ungodly late hour.
