For me, it's all about the socialization and sense of community. There is nothing worse than being in an FC and no one chats or says anything. I've had pretty bad luck in this area where I've joined an FC and it's very quiet socially or you ask for help and it's like talking to a brick wall.

The whole point for me is to have people to engage with and enjoy the game with. Otherwise, I would just stick to playing solo.
