Grouping doesn't need to be forced. It needs to be viable and rewarding. That's how you get people to group, not by making solo activities unrewarding.

Also, with the current pace, even in several years, giving quests decent XP/SP rewards will never allow people to level to cap with only sidequests. There simply won't be nearly enough of them.

To put things in perspective, a game that's structured for questing-only leveling up has an average of 600-800 quests from level 1 to cap. It'll be several years before FFXIV gets to that level.
