This keeps me busy. I refuse to purchase diamonds, and this is my main reason for not joining one.
Most of people I've met in fellowships don't purchase diamonds and it's not a problem at all
And AWs are by no means compulsory, although some of them are good.
If you're not taking part in fellowships, you're missing on three things:
- more trade partners
-Tournaments (many rewards to gain there, KPs, spells, runes
)
- nice chat and getting to know your fellow players
There are many FSs out there, so you could find one that doesn't need daily visits if that's a problem for you, so you could try and see how you feel in one.
Of course nothing wrong with flying solo if you want to, but do it for right reasons
Edit: I visited your city on Win, and no wonder you have problems with space, you're producing all types of goods
mate, this is very inefficient, you could do so much better if you only produced your boosted (planks, silk, dust) and traded for the rest. Check out this article for more information
