Welcome to handholding online, not a perfect game, but a damn good one nonetheless.

If you want to play the game alone, don't bother unless you want to spend all day in dungeons or spend your time being ganked by 10 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gear. You're ultimately forced to join a guild, and if you want to be on the top you gotta join a big alliance and in most cases that involves jerking the leaders off and slaving for them so they can fund their neet lifestyle in their mum's basement by RMTing the silver you work for. They all have humongous egos and basically cry and throw their plate of tendies whenever something doesn't go their way. When it comes to content they simply try to reduce it as much as possible so that they can keep funding their neet life with as little obstructions as possible.

Ironically the devs are actually pretty decent, especially when compared to other MMOs.

Overall 9/10 would help fund some Eastern European's basement dwellers lifestyle again.
