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).

I couldn't think of an amusement park MMO that would allow me to sit on a wormhole all day listening for an activation and watching youtube and not feel like I'm wasting money by not playing. the beautiful thing about eve is it requires as much of your time and attention as you're willing to give and it never feels like you're not progressing.

I feel almost the exact opposite. I don't feel any progression and I do not enjoy the PvP elements of the game at all. I'm glad that you enjoy it, though.

Edit: by comparison, I've recently started playing Deep Rock Galactic and feel a great sense of progression without the game-ending effects of PvP. Losing a ship in Eve is a guaranteed time loss.

Eve is a hardcore full loot PvP game with real stakes, if that isn't your jam then Eve isn't.

The moment to moment game play is garbage but it's those moments of risking it all for glory that still get the heart racing and the hands shaking no matter how seasoned you are that's something literally no other game has been able to do for me.

I hope you at least played with friends because I couldn't think of anything worse or more boring than joining a large faceless null sec feeder corp and grinding PvE for a year in peace time.
