God it's funny when your brain not working right accidentally prevents certain issues. I'm immune to getting addicted to MMOs, my brain can't handle the slow dopamine distribution.

To be fair , MMOs aren't fun because of gameplay, they are fun because of the social aspects.

which ironically have diminished greatly in mmos

Yeah the golden era of MMOs was ~2007. It's been getting worse since then.

at least there are still some gems appearing occasionally; project gorgon for one in my opinion at least. gloria victis was/is also pretty decent, star citizen is mixed opinion for me, but definitely above wow or other generic mmo games.

Working harder and grinding more should mean more levels and cool gear faster.

In reality, the harder you work the slower the dopamine, and then I dip.

Unless it's RuneScape, which offers a wealth of extremely repetitive tasks!
