I miss playing MMO’s, but micro transactions ruin any sense of progression for me.

Any mmo’s out there that fit the bill?

Cosmetics are fine, as long as you can’t just turn around and sell said cosmetics in game.

  • Would disagree it’s where the game begins, given how story-directed it is. FFXIV is, to me, a single-player JRPG in the shell of MMO combat with a huge amount of multiplayer content. (Especially with the fulfilment of duty support allowing you to do MSQ dungeons with bots.)

    • Yeah, that’s correct. I didn’t really explain well my thoughts on this.

      What I meant is the part of the games where money, gearing up, trying to be better than other players if you compete for world first clears, etc, all of this begins only when you reach max level. And yet for that you cannot really “pay to win”, the only way is grinding for the best gear.
