I just can't be bothered to grind through levels in an MMO anymore. I recently thought play LOTRO again, by level 15 I couldn't be bothered with collecting 12 boar foreskins for the 25th time just to unlock more quests doing the same fucking thing. To make it worse, no one is playing helms deep, the 1 bit of level scaled content IIRC.

ESO was different by level scaling eveverything so you can play with anyone for almost anything and it works pretty well. But their cash shop puts me off.

I also don't have much patience for "it gets fun later I promise!".

Guild wars 2 will scale people down for earlier levels, but the majority of content is aimed at the level cap (which hasn't changed since launch ten years ago).

I don't know how long it would take a new player to hit the cap. With friends, I think you could get to the cap via crafting in like 30 minutes if they spot you the resources.
