Worth actively recommending against, even.

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.)
Yep, OSRS ironman involves so little non-social interaction with other players* that their power from bond gold is almost irrelevant.
(* outside cooperative and competitive minigames etc.)
Absolutely, it's absurd to conflate XIV's level skips with being able to buy gold in other games.
XIV was actually my first thought re: the OP's query.
The rare instance where you can be grateful for development hell.
It’s a really fun game although very grindy and i’m not even sure which genre it belongs to.
Absurdist sandbox?
It's a game I've never managed to get into, but it can be rather wild to watch others' antics.
Sands of Time was so cool. That series was flawed (Warrior Within was the emo-most game in an era full of emo sequels as the original audience reached adolescence), but I'm sad that it essentially got canceled by warping into AC.
Signing up is just having an instagram account and opting to check it out, so I'm not sure the numbers are very meaningful yet.
Right to repair is a thing in Europe now (https://www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/2022/12/apple-launches-self-service-repair-in-europe/), though I've heard complaints about how it's conducted.
I understand people's attachment to their community, but if even a significant minority of those who went dark mass resigned on the 30th, it would've had so much bigger an impact than any of the ongoing attempts at protest.
Many of them (r/military, r/cyberpunkgame) absolutely should've been NSFW to begin with though, so they have a point when they say reddit is asking them to ignore their own rules when it suits them.
Keep meaning to check these out before it dies (how healthy is it? / how long do I have?).
