What MMORPG are you playing, and why? (feddit.it)

I'm back for my annual month on FFXIV, but I honestly admit I'm growing a bit tired of the gameplay loop, the "omg you're the main hero !!" story and the sometimes very weird community. I love the world setting though, so I usually stick around anyway.

I would love to give GW2 more chances, but I'm not totally vibing with the combat system; plus, I wish art direction went a little differently, the game is not exactly holding up well these days (but I admit that square-enix is quite a high standard in that regard: even FFXI still looks artistically coherent, two decades and a half later).

If I haven't played in a year or so. Will there be any painful grind barriers to get to the 1999 content?

Just completing the main quests afaik, if it's only been a year then there shouldn't be too many.

They actually went back and reduced the painful grinds for some of the previous stuff, like crafting railjack/necramechs and most syndicates are now much easier to progress.

Depends, if you've done The New War then no
