To make the game more solo friendly certain team activities would need to be dumbed down. When you dumb down the team elements many team players leave the game. I've seen clans dissolve because of these issues and the lack of real team challenges. The shattered throne is too easy to be a challenge for 3 people. So my point is the team elements need to be worked on and improved otherwise it will become mainly a solo game. There are already almost no activities that require team play so what exactly do solo players want? Seems like they hate people having a team in this game. Please remember this is a co-op game by design and many activities are built with teams in mind but right now other than raids there is no need to actually have a team. So think on that for a minute. A co OP team based game where 90% of all activities don't require a team mate. So the game already heavily caters to solo players yet they still cry and moan about it. Maybe if you want such an awesome solo player experience go play an awesome solo game and stop crying about a team based game where you don't want to take part or play with the community or find like minded players. It's a you problem you don't adapt to your surroundings you demand the surroundings adapt to you.... good luck in life with that mindset. So yes if they keep making solo content and stop making tougher team based game modes then large communities will keep struggling to maintain players and clans will keep falling. So yes it does effect players, it effects clans and relationships because people like a challenge. Solo players can not comprehended this because they are always thinking about themselves.
