Tedium and Convenience aren't the same thing

>automatically match players into dungeons together
+ Convenient, quick, gets you into the content you want fast
- Removes socialization entirely (A good thing for mmo jannies, they don't have to worry about players hurting eachother's feelings as much)
>sync your turbo9000 hour solo grind across alts
+ Saves you time for something you've already done probably 3 times before, and lets you play your main and do things with other people again
- No longer keep the grind addicts subscribed in their own personal hell for months when theres no actual new content

So its plain to see why companies choose this route.
I just hope PSO2 and XIV popularized the "one character, all classes" thing enough for future franchises' attempt into the genre. Both could still do way better about alts.

Oh right, that's why.
