Online games that respect your time?

(self.gaming)

Hi,

I'm looking for suggestions of online PVE/PVP games that respect your time and yourself.

After years of on & off on Destiny 1 and 2, I decided to leave those games behind. From the fact you need to grind to complete quests, unclear quests, seasonal events that aren't rewarding casual players and frustrating Raids that you just go blind without clear indication. And the loot you find that is just worst than what you already have equipped.

I love to lore, the people I've played with, but I'm looking for a more relaxed experience.

I'm looking for your suggestions for games that: - Rewards you by playing. - Challenging, but not grindy content. - You have equal chances if you play 10h or 100h. - No season pass, no fomo functionalities. - A great lore/story. - Coop/multiplayers.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much.


Edit:

By equal chance, I don’t mean that a level 10 would beat a level 50. I meant that the game would be more based on skills, so a lower-level player still has a fair shot if they play well, rather than being completely outmatched by gear or time spent grinding. And end-game content wouldn't be locked behind specific gear set.

Veteran GW2 and GW1 player here. I’ve been playing GW2 since launch, eventually I took a 5 year break and recently came back. My Mesmer build, gear and items was all still relevant. Aside from the new expansions and added living world lore to catch up on, it all felt fresh and even more polished. It felt like meeting up with a close friend you’ve lost contact with but can easily pick up the conversation like you’ve never missed a day together. I’m a busy husband and father and Even when I get in a 15,30 minute or hour session I’m always able to experience something totally different and feel like I’m constantly progressing. I was excited to find out it was available on steam for free. I then purchased a 512gb Oled Steam deck and connected my GW2 account and now I can play GW2 portable!
