Why on earth should anyone whine about casters not being able to solo. There's
already a very good option to you people and it's called civilized backround.
There's Runemages or just plain old Civilized Mages to pick from, and on top
of that, you can even choose a nice little fighterguild to go along with it!
But Nooooooo, you just have to have all the suffeli too. Of course you realize
that if mages get discipline to be able to solo, they lose some other things
to compensate for it.
