@PeachMcD thanks for the welcoming post!
I was actually talking about the forum engine itself, but as you point out the forum is actually really cool also for what matters people posting in it...
In my opinion a healthy and respectful community is crucial in keeping a game enjoyable for long.
The business model looks good for now, P2W is always a bad decision on the long run if you want quality, and cosmetic and little QoL paid items are ok, even more if there is a way to aquire them from other players with in game currency, which still generates money for the company and doesn't cut off people completely from stuff.
For what matters guilds, since I bought the game recently I haven't played a single alpha yet, so I don't know, I think I'll spend the very first time as I always do: messing around and finding out stuff, then I'll think about it...
