I remember none of these from Classic EQ. Solo play has always been a viable option, but it was never such a clear-cut advantage to grouping.

To be honest Mages are completely OP still. Their pets tank as well as an equal level and level appropriate geared tank except they can use fire pet and get a huge DS so it's the equivalent of being able to whip out a tank alt at any moment that has chloroplast and high level mage DS. Their DPS is classic but pets are supposed to get the shit kicked out of them more. A fire pet shouldn't be able to tank yellow/red cons without even getting a single heal. In classic you'd have to practically chain mage heals on fire pet if it was fighting a red not go AFK to get a drink while it solos.
If more groups were smart enough to use mage fire pet as tank using root proximity aggro to force it to tank this issue would get fixed when everyone realizes how OP it is. A mage in a group who doesn't do this is working at about 1/2 their solo ability.
Other than that everything appears to be going pretty much how classic did. Soloing as a solo class was ALWAYS better exp than grouping. Also, the emphasis on "soloing" you're describing is more just people asking questions on forum. Who is going to post a question asking which class can group the best? Actually, you do see these threads asking which class is needed at 50, etc.
There are tons of groups in game.
