Original question by @StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works

I'll start, RuneScape, it used to be about adventure but now it's about efficiency. Runner up, rust, very active community, but toxic playerbase and people usually abandon when a world isn't fresh

Currently it's The Finals, though I have been taking a break. I need to fire it back up to see if my biggest issue with it has been fixed... It was the fact that the netcode was garbage and the entire match could be completely out of sync to the point that what you actually see other players doing is nowhere near the reality of what is actually going on in the game.

The dev made a post that they knew about the problem and even identified the cause, but as of the last time I actually played, it hadn't been fixed yet.

Second place is Crossout. It's essentially F2P Twisted Metal but you build your own vehicles. The biggest flaw with it is the grind. It takes so much time and rounds played to advance to unlock new parts and earn resources. I've been playing for a month and I'm only level 11, and still stuck playing the super basic starting modes until I have enough "PS" to open up the others. 😮‍💨 I think it might actually be P2W with how other players at the same rank can have full blown mechs while I am still stuck with the shittiest car parts going off the normal, free level of progression.

Then again, it also had ABSOLUTELY NO TUTORIAL beyond the basics of driving your car. It doesn't explain any of the menus, how to build, how to share, etc. I could just be missing something.
