Ah yes, rep grinding! That was fun.
IDK if you are familiar with EQ but it had separate cities for each race. Those races had different starting factions with different cities based on the good/evil alignment.
So having say an Ogre race be in a human city was quite a feat and worth noting. Of course this was 18 years ago now.
Warframe is set in a distant future where the solar system is dominated between the Grineer, an empire race of militarized clones; the Corpus, a mega-corporation merchant cult with advanced robotics and laser technology; and the Infested, the name for a disease and its victims that devours all. The players takes the role of a Tenno, an ancient warrior created by the Orokin to battle a mysterious foe but left to slumber generations ago, until woken by an entity called the Lotus for the sole purpose of reuniting the scattered, war-torn colonies throughout the system.

Last one I can remember is Swifty from WoW.

Played one of the Modern Warfare games and enjoyed it. I just couldn't take hours of random music, swearing kids and all the other random talk that goes on there.
Am I the only weirdo. Who buys lots of games but then only plays one game at a time until its beaten. Which allows me to eventually get through every game I buy. Even if it takes years.

I just completed my first full playthrough of XCOM 2 yesterday. I had several abortive attempts -- one even all the way up to the final fight at the end where I realized I'd done it all wrong and wasn't going to pull it off.
I was proud of that, finally finishing and winning. It literally came down to one shot all or nothing at the end for this first success. The XCOM games are tough.

I have been seeing this a lot from gamers lately. Gamers complaining they're buying lots of games and never playing them.

The only exception being highly randomized games like Civilizations or Kerbal. Which you never really beat. And are always re-playable. Those types of games I rotate in and out. Usually having two installed on the computer. Then I have one game I am playing by myself until its beaten and one game that I play multiplayer, usually a FPS, which also gets rotated occasionally.
Single player games that have a story I usually only ever play once.
I guess I'm lucky. I'm not into any MMO timesinks right now. And I never got into all these survival games that have become popular. They become a second job. You have to constantly play everyday or you fall behind and/or someone comes around and straight up destroys you and takes all your stuff.
