It shouldn’t be a requirement to join a guild to play the content. When I originally bought into this, there was every indication that I could play solo, but now the game seems to be moving towards a clear (and discrete) mmo model. Disappointing. There must be a way to provide the best of both worlds.
I don’t have the time to sync up with others, nor the time to invest in this platform if I am required to participate in a group that wants to go in a specific direction. I have my own agenda, and I would appreciate the support of solo gameplay.
