The social aspect of the game needs to have better infrastructure IMO.
I like this point. Also, it's an interesting one coming from someone who has only played FFXIV as their MMO. Take your opinion and place it with a person who has played all the other current MMOs out there. They more than likely won't give FFXIV a thought in this aspect.

There are parts of this game that should not be casual and require a group. The obvious content being primals and instanced dungeons. However, outside of that, you really don't get rewarded for doing solo content. Everything worthwhile requires a group and this is simply an outdated philosophy for MMOs. There should be a nice mix of the two with their own rewards to scale with the difficulty.

This will make the game that much more enjoyable for several types of players.
