Unfortunately that was the problem with it and why people quit in droves. The entire game was an oxymoron. Multiplayer single player? How's that even work?
My wife and I were both in the open beta, and then like you, each bought a copy and we were very discouraged. By 20th level we moved on and never went back to it. We weren't even able to play together, which is why we buy multiplayer games. I'm always a tank, and she's always a healer. Meant we were both just playing a single player game and then every once in awhile we'd play together to run an instance. Not at all why I play MMORPGs. (incidentally in the end it's what drove us away from FF14 ARR...same thing...a game that we had to play alone and occasionally could play together while leveling)
Since it went FTP I've given some thought to boxing it ... seeing now that they also frown on and go so far as to officially state they ban multiboxing saves me the time I guess.
