tune server for 6 man(properly geared) group and allow bots. players who want to solo can use bots, players who want to group can drop some bots in favor of their friends. everyone gets to do what they want, everyone's happy. why does it have to be one way or the other? restrict IP and take out raids so no one can make multiple groups or box if you want to prevent steamrolling.
if you want, toss in some OPTIONAL world bosses(yes I took that idea from your server Mistmaker =p ) with cool fluff items like cosmetic stuff, graphics, mounts, auras, whatever and let the people who want to group take them but the solo player wouldn't need them in order to progress.
grouping with real people should give you an extra edge, not create a minimum standard. example, a solo player of max level, lets say 70 in this case, should be able to take out whatever the max level boss is in that world, but a couple real players grouped can do it at 65 with slightly less gear. ALL players who want to play can do so in the way they like, the people who group just have an edge over the solos
