I certainly know of what you speak and i am looking forward to the updates they will be churning out over the next year. Though i am not as much a loner as yourself i love the thrill of combat in this game and thats what mainly kept me captivated was the amount of freedom they give. However many of the community members that are active are on two threads making their wishes known not only for new mechanics but also for a brand new map.
Take a look see what you think, Like and comment even add to the list the more ideas we give them the more ideas they might add or even get themselves ^^ Merry christmas.
