One thing I have struggled with lately is finding good games to play. I bounce around from game to game trying to enjoy it but it just doesn't scratch the itch like it used to. For example, one of my favorites was old school RuneScape, but it hasn't really been giving me the same enjoyment that it used to. So then I would open up World of Warcraft, Destiny 2, just playing a little bit of each game. Think maybe I need some new games to play but it's tough to find them these days.

So what are your favorite 1000+ hour games?

In many cases yes (though I've been in good ones when playing off and on, usually the smaller the more there's actual group activities).

But they are essential to be a part of for blueprints and trading, which are very core parts of the game.

Sure, but again the amount of actual player to player interaction involved in that is minimal. Like I said, I'm in a clan, and outside of obtaining my initial invite (which basically went "Clan plz" in chat followed by clicking accept) I've had literally zero social interaction with my current clan. Trading has been effectively automated by Warframe market. You copy and paste something into chat, and the rest of the interaction consists of a pro forma exchange of "ty"s. Also, you don't actually need a clan to trade, because anyone you're trading with will inevitably invite you to theirs, so they're only really important when selling.

This is absolutely nothing like the way that raiding and guilds are core to World of Warcraft. Clans play an almost purely mechanical role in Warframe, they're not remotely the same thing, and do not have remotely the same requirement of social interaction.
