Agreed, I modern MMOs feel like they’re designed around a fast track to max level which leaves the game seeming more like a MOBA with a grind gate. We’ve completely lost the journey in favour of rushing to the destination.

Now at the same time runescape was grindy as fuck in a very unfun way but with all our modern advances surely we can make a progression that is long while having moment to moment gameplay thats fun in its own right?
