I hate

• quick time events,
• minimaps,
• questmarker,
• RPGs without story changing decisions,
• random generated loot (drop chance is fine),
• lack of class or profession decision (one character can do all sucks),
• random generated weapon/gear stats
• coop where process isn't shared to every player. Requires a multiple saves system to allow single player, as well as coop play, saves.
• enemy level scaling with player level,
• fully breaking weapon without being able to repair them
• bound items. Seriously, this needs to stop. I'd like to share my gear with guild mates or my other characters. I want to be able to sell a good item again if I don't need it. But so far only Ragnarok Online managed to do this well, that I know of.
• MMORPG with fixed marketplace, like fixed prices, build in price statistics etc. ruining a possible economy focused gameplay in favor of the lazy and dumb players, who complain... because they are not skilled enough.
• non MMORPGS with NPC that don't move or have daily activities. Gothic did this so we'll decades ago, I thought this would be standard by now
• any pay2win element
• any pay2skip grind purchases
• any quality of life wallet gated
• Battle-pass, season-pass, fomo bullshit

What I love

• weather and seasons
• music instruments, music class or weapons
• hidden treasures you need to dig for or find treasure maps
• NPC that have activities and are not glued to their vending table
• animal follower
• jumpsuit/glider
• destroyable environment/footsteps
• weapon degradation and maintenance
• professions and weapon/gear crafting
• alchemy like in Kingdom Come Deliverance
• NPC that tell you where to go, instead of a questmarker and path showing you where to go,
• able to respec my stat points only
• verticality in Level Design, like Dark Souls 1
• fishing with a bit of a challenge other than just pushing a button in time
• character customization, hair, skin, body size, height, voice
• fashion slots, like Terraria and now also Cyberpunk2077
• changing cities through actions I did in the game. NPC got killed, house destroyed/build etc.
