I should not need to explain this one.

And this why I just don't play online multiplayer games. I'll do couch co-op or co-op with a friend but never with strangers.
Helldivers 2 has been greast for this. I can play lower difficulties solo and when my friends are online I'll play with whomever's available.
Stop wasting time on Lemmy and get back to spreading freedom and democracy soldier. Those bugs and robots aren't going to get a taste of Liber-tea by themselves.
And hopefully tomorrow we get some shiny new toys to play with.
Check out guild wars 2. Yes it is mmo but the pve side is about as laid back as you can get. You literally don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want. Or you can find a group and play pve. Or you can try pvp, but I've never tried that side of it.
pvp is very toxic, but a player never has to go into it, however a user has to go into WvW if they want. legendaries strictly for Gift of Battle.
Good to know about the legendary items
Wvw isn’t toxic though, unless you play on monkey’s server.
I heard sPvP is toxic but I have not played that. For WvW it depends on the server/commander/guild. There are certainly commander being very aggressive about getting the absolute maximum out of it but it also ranges to "just follow me so at least have a larger group".
And yeah, PvE is pretty chill. I find it fascinating time and time again at AB that it is possible to speed through it without any communication.
Sorry not sure what AB is
Sorry, AB is short for "Auric Basin". Or more specifically, its map meta event.
Edit: To elaborate there are some more map meta event short names:

Thank you.
I remember Thunderhead Keep when Guild Wars 1 first came out. That map was the bane of everyone’s existence.
I feel like I've missed out on so many potentially great games because of this.
Played WoW on PC and encountered twinks, PvP spammers/snipers, loot ninjas etc and just had enough.
Normal person + anonymity + audience = fuckwit
Whenever I buy a game with an online component I feel like I'm just wasting half of that money.
