Curiously enough, mined data suggests The False Emperor flashpoint was originally intended to be a 8 player mission, as there's a version of the FP on the database where all PC's can participate.
Is there a quote that says only a group of four could defeat Malgus or Revan? If not, what you just posted was completely irrelevant to the point. Dialogue supports the fact that Revan and Malgus could both be defeated alone, and that makes those scenarios valid. End of discussion.
Though the idea that there is a definite to any of this is false either way because they're both in Legends, which is not a continuity last I checked. Valid scenarios work for argumentation and placement.
There's no source for that, and again, not the point. What a sourcebook said back before the Legends split has no impact on the validity of the single player content that is also in the game. If the game says said scenario is possible, it is possible unless stated otherwise. Show where it says it's not possible, or concede.
By it's own definition, a flashpoint is intended, including story-wise, as demonstrated by the FP entries I posted above, to be a group oriented activity.
By rigorously following it's own definition, a flashpoint can't be dissociated from team play. Which brings back what Skillz stated about the solo mode being a workround for players that can't or don't want to find a group.
And yet story mode flashpoints are clearly marked solo, and dialogue backs this up. Now, give me the evidence I asked for, or you can do as I recommended Hasch. I'll gladly take two concessions, as opposed to one.
I see you too don't quite know how to read. An example of a strike team that is obviously required is Revan in SOR where Revan flat outstates the player can't defeat EVULZ-Revan alone, and he's shown to be overwhelming. What you posted is not evidence, and is in fact contradicted by dialogue when you go solo. The fact that more people show up does not mean that more people are required, this being if we take outside sources as definite, especially when the person they are combating loses. You need hard evidence that Revan can't be solo'd to dismiss the very hard evidence that he can be.
The two definitions of Flashpoints in the whole of swtor.com literally states it's a story-driven, group activity. If they could be "canonically" soloed, it'd render the entire definition wrong - not only that, there'd be no reason to have flashpoints at all, story-wise.
I didn't punch the shit out of you for this half assed response, but trust me that it's very possible for me to. What we are discussing is possibility. Stop dodging.
