The feeling I've been chasing is a game where character progression is the focus. Progressing your gear isn't done through heavy RNG, or what feels like gambling. I don't care as much about story or quests; I just want to put my time into a character so that I can look at it days, weeks, or months from now and say "wow, I've accomplished so much. I'm proud of this."
I just want to be able to log on, knowing that I'm slowly, carefully building some kind of empire. Not to rule over anyone, but to have something that says to myself that I worked hard for it, and it's become strong.
