Many players are stopping playing. It's difficult to maintain guilds with active players.
There is a lot of turnover.
Players join the guild, stay for a couple of months and then leave. Many are stopping playing.
It's getting harder every day to find good guilds with vacancies.
My suggestion is to create an option to play without a guild.
The gameplay and benefits should be commensurate with guilds of 20 active players.

If playing alone had the same benefits of playing with 19 other people at your level. Why would anyone ever join a guild? Especially if the guild is at 18/20 needing two spots filled. Wouldn't it be easier then for the 18 people to go play with themselves? I feel like this would hurt recruiting even more.

The game used to be playable (on a much easier scale) a very long time ago by yourself. So I wholeheartedly agree it should still now. Not everyone seeks social guilds as a mandate to play games like this.
It would also keep a larger portion of the about to quit/can't be on enough to keep up with larger guild requirements players from leaving.
Imagine never having to recruit...
Imagine, Kabam making even more money than it does now...
