EVE is a massively-multiplayer openworld sandbox spaceship simulator, huge difference. And it's fairly an old-school one at that, one of the last remaining old-school mmo's that is still around or didn't revamp gameplay to the current fail gen of mmo's. Yep, new mmo's are designed around casual solo play, it's the hook on the line to catch the big whales that spend tens of thousands of dollars each in their f2p games.
I was at EQ1 at launch, sooooo not a solo game. But revamped and pretty much died. I was in UO it's first year, not a solo game. But revamped and pretty much died. None of which had "forced solo play", but it was far better to group than it was to solo.
For openworld mmo games there is a balance, either group play must be stronger or solo play, and there is no even balance that can be formulated. Truly successful mmo's (not just number counts) have always leaned towards groups, otherwise what is the point in even making it an mmo apart from trying to milk players for every penny that can be had?

X3: Terran conflict, X3: Albion Prelude. I'm not sure about Elite: Dangerous, but afaik it also has a solo mode. Don't care about Elite, but X3 is pretty damn good. Drop in the XRM mod and it's a 5 star game rivaling skyrim imo.

Take me for example. People suck, I hate them both in and out of game however even as a soloer my early piracy affected many, my helping in Help chan helped many, my war decs affected thousands, my creation of Privateers caused many to fear high sec and the changes to war decs in response to that changed the mechanics of the game. In later years my AFK Cloaking raids in alliance hubs emptied prime systems and my wisdom here on the forums and exposure of the cash faucets of nullsec created fear and loathing among the nullsec aristocracy.
And I've barely been in a gang throughout my 10+ years of EvE Online. How is the dog? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57KDDKbfhmI
