I disagree. I think the community gets worse depending on how much an individual player relies on others for success and progress, regardless of how good the game is.

Games like Leauge of Legends and FPS games have far worse communities than this game's.

But that doesn't make it a bad or shallow game. It's a common theme in mmorpgs where players have to put together parties where each person fills in a specific role crucial to the success of the fight. That makes it so people have to rely on each other.
