I'd say if it is done right... Hirelings could work out very well... They could bolster the ranks of a low population clan and give solo players more of an edge with their crafting by having hirelings harvest for them. On the other side of things, it adds more targets out there in the world if the population isn't so great. I also want a macro partner I'm not hardcore pushing the idea, I just think it adds something to the game that won't change the core mechanics that most people love about darkfall.
