This game should require multiple people to achieve "great" things but not basic things.
There should be animals that require multiple players to kill IMO, a person who wants to make the best quality leather armor shouldn't be able to make top quality twine as well. Forcing people to interact for sub-combines or work together to take down giant animals is good for the game. Every little mechanic change that gets you to deal with another player is a good thing.
The things above build community,stimulate an economy and in general will help to remove some of the empty feeling this game world has. You should be able to do all basic things on your own. But there should be "tiers" (I know it's a dirty word) of quality or even select items that you can't do if you're not someone who has chosen to specialize in that ability/skill/profession.
