but ultimate progress relies on individuals banding together and sacrificing individual freedom for the good of the whole group.

No, that just makes it easier. Yes, if you consider only having the high tier BoP stuff "ultimate progress", then yes.

But you can get to level 80, have 100,000 gold, and never deal with another player, if you want to put the effort into it.

You are not "forced" to deal with any player, you are just given the option to make your life less of a struggle if you do. That's a major difference.

And MH, you can use any MMO to make this argument, I just chose WoW because more people know it.
