Bungie does not appear to want solo players money, so yes, solos are being pushed further and further away. Playing on a fireteam in the toxic D2 community is not fun for most. This is why so few have completed raids. For most of the D2 players, that kind of activity simply isn't an enjoyable experience. However, Bungie seems to be perfectly fine with solo players leaving and taking their money somewhere else. That's ok, Solos are not the ones losing out on that extra cash, Bungie is losing it.
