And there is where your argument becomes invalid. You assert that MMO must require sociability. MMO doesn't mean Must Multiplayer Only. MMO simply means that you have other players freely there. You can be as social as you want. There are plenty of MMOs that aren't even games. They are totally social experiences. Your Connotative definition of MMO is different than the actual Denotative meaning of MMO. The monniker MMO doesn't require the environment to have X% of social content. That is just what YOU think MMOs are 'supposed' to be about. That's is completely a personal opinion and not factual.

Yes, I am. I am quite happy with it. If I wasn't, I would not continue to play.
I am not saying, in any fashion, that the game must be a purely solo experience. I am saying that the game must not be a purely social experience. I think we have a good balance right now. I can PQ when I want. I can Solo train when I want. LHC is a social place. Its just not closed off to the solo gamer. PERFECT! If I train solo in LHC, I am not going to do as well as I would with a party. Same for Monster Park.
It can be argued that it's Party Play (whether PQ or LHC) is the very reason that players advance without any work. So why the hell are you coming down on the solo gamer? He has to work harder than anyone in order to advance!
