Attitudes?

I was going to buy into this game a while back, I even had my card ready while reading some forums and seeing some videos. Then I started asking around a bit. My biggest concern that I kept hearing about was the community.
Generally speaking, I'm an antisocial, solo player that likes MMOs for the massiveness, openness and economic models that don't exist in single player games. I also like the challenge of going up against a person instead of a witless AI opponent. I'm definitely not a guildie and rarely play with friends.
From what feedback I got on Albion Online is that guilds rule the server. Massive groups of lots of people pretty much dictating terms for all the other players in the game. Experienced that in Archeage and hated every second of it.
What's more is that people said that the devs pretty much promoted that kind of behavior and attitude from the players. This was a rather massive "red flag" in my book and made me put my credit card back and never buy into the beta.
So, over a year later, I'm back on here now to ask the same question - How is the attitude in this game? I don't just mean the community, but the overall game. Does the game always promote always being in groups, or is it solo friendly? Does the game prevent abusive, overpowered guilds from destroying game play for others, or is it pretty much just a free for all/every man for himself? Do the devs even give damn about any of this and try to find ways/limits around this type of situation?

The game is a lot of fun for me. I'm a crafter type and everything is player made, which I like. Local banks which I also like. Housing which actually makes a difference which I like. It's not a perfect game, but I could recommend it.... minus a large part of the community.

If I decide to play long term I will join a guild because that is what the game is designed around.

And honestly i cant understand why anyone would wnat to play Albion when UO already does everything Albion is trying to do , but Much better and has much more to do .....
Maybe UO has spoiled me , but Albion just doesnt grab me at all , Ill wait till release and give it one last try ...
