I disagree with the Final Fantasy 14 suggestions if you want to play alone. I REALLY liked FF14 (probably my favorite MMO out there to be honest), but you're forced to party pretty frequently for the story. From level 15-18 you have to clear three dungeons for instance (they're all insanely easy, but still), furthermore, at level 20, 35, and 44 you have to fight Primals (basically just boss fights, but insanely fun), and that's not everything, you have to do dungeons roughly every 10 levels or so of the main story, including raids at the end. That isn't even mentioning the expansion.
WoW is VERY easy to level in, but it's from 2004, so I dunno if you want to check it out. If it's a graphics issue with you, the latest expansions have done a damn good job of upgrading the visuals in almost every single way.
I only played SWTOR briefly, but it looked easy. Honestly, make sure you pay SOMETHING if you decide to play this game, because the basic free game is a load of bullshit. A TON of things are locked, even things that make no fucking sense to lock. I decided not to play it just on principle because of shitty gaming practices.
Tera is very easy to solo in, though if you follow the main story you do have to do dungeons, but again, they're VERY easy and only the higher level ones actually require a tank and healer. Otherwise just group with Reapers, Gunners, and Ninjas and they're steamroll everything for you. The hyper-sexualized anime-ish aesthetic might be a turn off though, so look into it a bit before playing.
Black Desert is a weird MMO that doesn't even have dungeons and you're never forced to group, hell, you actually don't even need to level. You can just stay in the first town and be a cook for the entire game if you really want to. Granted, you'll have money issues if you don't level at least a little bit, but still, it's an interesting game. Being that it's a Korean MMO though, just know that it's insanely grind heavy.
GW2 is probably the best solo MMO I can think of that I've played extensively. You can completely ignore the dungeons and reach max level before you even clear a third of the zones in the game. Furthermore, most of the end-game content doesn't even require you to find a group, since you'll still get rewards by just following the zerg and participating in the events. There are dungeons, and those do require groups, but I NEVER did any of them when I played, and I was still able to attain max level and easily get the Exotic gear quickly. There's another tier of gear above exotic that I can't recall the name of, but I do remember managing to get a lot of that gear too without doing any dungeons, though it is a bit of a grind. Just note that I never played the expansion, so I don't know if it changed things around.
