You have probably tried Guild Wars 2 already but i think it is one of the only real MMOs since you automatically interact with lots of people if you want to and can engage more if you like, since the community is so nice in there. (Except PvP lol;)
You also have the freedom from the start to do whatever, which i understand puts some people of.
And it is also one if the best examples how f2p can work without screwing you over.
Subs are okay if the company needs money but server costs are not expensive for the big guys. You also pay extra for microtransactions in WoW right?
Line just always has to go up with them…

Yeah and forcing stuff to proceed aside from tutorials is mostly outdated design IMO.
Thats why i will never play another GTA. If you build a giant sandbox let players do whatever not get stuck in skinner box loops and cutscenes.

I really dont want to make people upset and usually do not care what people play, but games like wow just make me angry somehow.
There are so many better games and even MMOs out there but thats not even the half of it. You spend money MONTHLY for your savegame basically, on something which is attached with so many bad things in the past and present.
Its only a puppet of microsoft at this point and we all know where that money goes. Not to the devs even if they unionized or whatever. To data centers and war and all riding on nostalgia which was never even that good.
Sorry for ranting but i dont know where else to put these thoughts other than a meme forum where mostly people ignore it anway.

I become invested in a character if the story attached to it is well written or if i get to make meaningful decisions with it.
If the gameplay attached to it is boring or if i only run around the map hunting bear asses, why would i become attached to that?
Fetch quests just stretch out the game to keep you occupied.
Even hated that in games like skyrim, but you could mostly ignore it and level by exploring. In most MMOs its most of the game which is just awful and outdated. Just like mindlessly killing mobs.

You can do that without a carrot on a stick and mandatory kill x. Then you also have to run to the npc 5 times after every quest. Its so boring and unecessary timeconsuming.
Since i have played guild wars 2 i cannot stand these types of quests in any game and even that game still has to use it in its story from time to time. But they at least always put a twist on it at and its never that long thankfully.
Games like WoW are nothing but that for the whole game. It has so many other old design flaws that it always astounds me how many people still fall for that and even pay monthly for a bucket of crap.

I do not understand how people can still play stuff like that. Such an unfun and outdated gamemechanic.

on EA staff fear new Saudi Arabia owners will police their games: "Projects just won't get signed because they don't align explicitly with what the Saudi government wants" in c/technology@lemmy.world · 21 Aug 2026
My wife is glad Paralives is out so she can ignore The Sims.
Its way better and more inclusive.

That whip should come in handy :3
It has changed quite a lot since beta and i find it weird that classes feel same when they differ quite alot from each other.
Even more so since every big expansion offers Elite specs that change it another time.
Mesmer can port people and there are guilds specifically to help people with jumping puzzles that way.
The busy stuff is mostly in open world and map metas. If you wait for a world boss or chill in the cities there is alot of chatter and even roleplay.
It is very easy in the starting zones but gets very hard and unforgiving in the first big expac maps Heart of Thorns. I do like the laid back approach that you can do whatever from mindlessly exploring to hardcore raiding.
There are enough unforgiving single player games for my liking and i do not have much time so gw2 sort of values it by not giving me mandatory hurdles. When an update comes out i can play every content without gear grind.
But i know aswell that many people like that sort of thing.
