This is probably one of the worst suggestions I’ve seen. There is a way to reach high gear level solo. Craft it. 600-620 gear is practically only achieved through crafting. If you don’t like group gameplay, don’t play a massive… MULTIPLAYER… online… ROLE-playing… game…
if you’re not going to FIT a ROLE, you’re gonna have a bad time, mmmmkkkkay!!
MMOs do evolve and needs to be constantly evolved. But having an “End Game Content” that a player can do SOLO on an MMO game?? Clearly not a good design if an MMO had that or is a dying MMO that needs to adjust it’s content to cater the lack of population. But this game has enough player base at the moment hence having an “End Game Content” that a player can solo is not needed as of yet.
One thing is play with others in a mmo , thats ok, and that the mmo experience. But make friends ? Thats not really part of the experience, in new world you can farm alone, killing mobs alone, the most part of the missions is solo experience, So why the late game is only with group people ? thats the problem for me. No play the game with other people wtf, and pleople saying MAKE FRIENDS, men if you have 2847287382738 friends is your life not my.

Not sure how my reply was toxic. I was simply stating a fact. Check anywhere. NW has got a very bad reputation for a toxic community. FFXIV has a great rep for having a great/helpful community. Games get reps bro, it happens.
When you mix communities from multiple MMOs you’re always going to run the risk of bringing in the toxic elements from all of those.
With regards to FFXIV, on the whole, you’re largely correct (although there’s a much less competitive element in that tbh), but with the greatest respect, I’ve met some total c**ts in that game too.
But yet you want them to instill a way for you to play solo…
You can’t tell someone they can’t define how a game is and demand the game cater to your wishes.
That being said, you CAN play as a solo person, just follow groups that are doing Portals, or farming elite areas. You don’t need to make friends, just ask for a group invite or follow the train and tag mobs and kill. It’s not rocket science.
IMO, this is a common issue with modern MMOs. They’re single-player games until BAM you hit a wall that requires group play. Wildstar was particularly bad about this. IMO, all content should be group-based. That’s the first two letters of MMO! However, requiring group play means your playerbase will be the size of DDO’s at best.
…so, here we are, playing yet another single-player MMO that suddenly changes to group content at the end.
