issue 2: group or die
issue 3: sorry about issue 2, now your character can do everything, no need to even speak to another player

I don't think you're on target with that statement. Just because a blaster (for example) can protect himself better, it doesn't mean he can handle every situation----regardless of the odds. Teaming will still take place.
But lets say for the sake of argument, that you were right. So what? OMG. A player isn't FORCED to team with other players. Not everyone likes being forced to do that. Sometimes you like to hang out with others. Other times, you want to be alone. Why should your gaming experience be gimped because you don't want to play with some other player? Why would that be so terrible? And please don't give me the old tired statement, "if you don't want to play with other players, then don't play online." There are other reasons to play online. Continuous updated content.
I just fail to see the logic in forcing players to play with each other (if they don't want to). Let all players choose their own paths.
