I was almost considering getting this game, as I like the premise and idea of it. But after their last update made it essentially impossible to do anything without being part of a large guild, I changed my mind. You can now only craft a small straw hut and can't go beyond tier 2 crafts.
I don't mind some necessity in interacting with other players. But the fact that you can't be ANY sort of lone player, craftsman, priest, monk, mercenary... is a problem. I don't have the time to spend EVERY session playing with and around other people. And I don't want my gameplay session times being determined by the presence and participation of other people.
The extent to which they absolutely force guild play is excessive and off-putting. And they continue to have very few actual gameplay upgrades. The combat is basically the default engine system. So what's left? Crafting. Only you can't do that without a guild.
