Why should people be forced to group at all???  Because that is the purpose of the game.   They have solo content, but if you want nice stuff, you have to either group or save up plat to buy it off of the broker.  No one is forcing you to group, but if you want the nice stuff you really should.  If you really dispise grouping that much, why would you play an on-line game with other people.  There are pleanty of nice single player rpgs out there.  If you play because you like the fact that there are others to talk to that is fine, but you must also accept that there will be group content...
