By their own actions and comments, Bungie has made it abundantly clear that they do not want and really hate solo players. They design the game to discourage solo play by withholding OP items and content by making it unobtainable unless you assemble a fireteam.
They know individuals in a fireteam will pressure other fireteam members to play more often which contributes to the game addiction that they want players to have to insure consistent revenue.
Let me explain. So as a solo trying to have fun and enjoy the game, you come across a player with a certain OP weapon that wrecks your world and kills your fun. You then decide, hey, I would like to have that weapon because not having it is wrecking my fun. You start the necessary quest line to obtain the OP weapon. While completing the questline you find objectives that essentially require fireteams to complete. So, no fireteam...no weapon and you continue to be harassed by the OP weapon holders.
This is Bungies way of giving solo players the middle finger for not becoming a little fireteam addict with blood shot eyes who pours 20+ hours a week of their life into their addiction. Bungie simply hates solo players and sadly, it looks like this will not change. Solo players all come to a point where they question is this game really worth it for me as a solo player?

I have hundreds of raid completions and 8 titles in D2. This game is so much better when you’re playing with other people. Stop being an anti-social pleb and become Legend. Edit: I may have been harsh but I’m tired of players blaming the game for their social shortcomings. Bungie has literally said the Friend Game is the End Game.
