In reply to the same quote above, I'd just like to add that I think that what really makes the quality of a community depends of the people who are part of that community. While I acknowledge that some people will prefer soloing 100% of their playtime for whatever reason, it seems to me that the majority of MMORPG players care about the MMO aspect and will naturally make friends and share game content with them. Forcing them to group with random people, when their friends are not available, that might very well end up being jerks to achieve this or that will not help forging a better community, quite the contrary I would say.
What I am sure of is that I will never be forced in XIV to bite my tongue and bear with jerks to get those last exp points granting me a level up, because if I ever run into jerks when I want to group, I can just press the eject button, finish my level solo and actually have a good time.
