The Ultimate Grindfest: Recommend Me a Game That Will Consume My Soul

I'm not looking for just any game - I want THE GRIND. The kind of game where:

• Progress is measured in months, not hours
• The gameplay loop is simple but addicting
• Every session leaves you exhausted but craving more
• You can feel your soul leaving your body as you farm for that 0.01% drop ✔ Endless progression - Always another level, another tier, another prestige
  ✔ Satisfying rewards - That sweet, sweet dopamine when you finally get the drop
  ✔ Active gameplay - No idle/clicker games - I want to WORK for my progress
  ✔ Community suffering - Bonus if there's a dedicated community of fellow maso - Last Epoch (How's the endgame grind?)
• Tarkov (Is the wipe cycle grind worth it?)
• Albion Online (Full loot = full pain?)
• New World (Did they fix the endgame?)
• Lost Ark (How bad is the daily grind

What I DON'T Want:

❌ Pay-to-win - I'll grind, but not against wallets
❌ Artificial timegates - Don't tell me when I can play
❌ Single-player with caps - If it ends, it's not grindy enough
