I like mmos as virtual worlds to hang out in. The more real the world is. cycles of day and npcs behaving what would be normal. animals. it is like the most important. almost equally important is a a lot of customization in character ability and costuming. Its also important that there are roles so that one person can't do it all. gameplay honestly, to me, is basically the last thing but it does need to be fun but not to hard for casuals to be a part of it.

    I miss fun grinding. Now all grinding feels like I gotta log in everyday or fall behind on events or something stupid and I ain't about that. I wanna get addicted for two weeks and be able to come and go without having to battle "the meta" all the time

    yes I understand the carrot thing but they really need to make it more like cooperative content. honestly whats kinda funny is one thing I liked about champions was it was kinda in maintenance mode and most everything the brought out new was costuming. So the main gear was on this cosmics grinding that could pop ever 4 hours. You could pretty much do it as you feel like. They kinda started doing vehicles and nice things with the yearly events and that was kinda annoying. when its just costuming its easier to be like. nah ill skip it. Oh then also the even currency would not expire so if you had time one year you could build it up and if you did not have time some year you could still get the stuff. unfortunately they kinda made it more grindy at some point although still not to bad. seriously though you should be able to try and get the gear at any time of year if you can find folks to play the content to help you out. quick edit but another thing is the offline/online thing is best. You should know you can still play with the stuff you bought or grinded 20 years later.
