I have the exact opposite problem as OP. I love playing solo and also love playing the game in general. Playing solo means you have to do all the work yourself though. However it also allows you to play at your own pace and offers the opportunities to do whatever you want on any given login. Want to spend the day tending the farm? Go right ahead. Want to speed run the bosses? Hey feel free. Want to build a massive castle and kill no bosses? Well guess what you can. Dive in and have fun or don't. Its your call.
