2-Also, if somebody has an item that has been thought as a myth, wouldn't it be realistic if the whole world goes after you?

3-One more thing, some of the most critically acclaimed animes uses macguffins, doesn't it?

4-I scroll through a multitude of forums regarding writing RWBY fanfiction and they say in order to make a story worth reading, my character should be alone. 1-While Phantom has some attitude issues, right now he has a point (or rather, several points). Here's a tip: Just because someone is criticizing something of yours in a way that's not nice, it doesn't mean they are any less wrong or that you should ignore them. Oftentimes, these same people's criticism is the one that can help you the most.

2-Only if the item in question is very well known by everyone to be capable of exactly what the myths say. In other words, if there was, say, an armor invincible against even nukes, that it was actually invincible against even nukes, not just an exageration made by myths.

If it was true but it was no open secret, or if no one actually knows if it's true or not, then it's not even slightly realistic in the slightest.

3-A lot of shows use macguffins, not just anime. And using macguffins does not make them critically acclaimed (or the contrary; infamiously terrible).

4-For starters, what forums? Second, whoever told you that was either an idiot who has never written a story, or someone who wanted to sabotage you, or someone who wanted you to make a story like they and just they wanted.

An OC does not need to be alone, that depends on the kind of story you want to make. And regardless of whether the OC is alone or not, it is not what makes a story "worth reading".
