Hi All,
Would like you get your suggestions on a good MMO for:
1. Groups Dungeons
2. Casual 1~3 hours per night play
3. non-crazy vertical progression (I dislike FF14 as after months of long grinding my gear suddenly sucked due to new gear, every 3 months plus)
4. horizontal progression (I got sick of GW2 once Legendaries and Agony came out, after all their promises against such grind, hard to go back with such bad experience and GW2 dungeons are barren really barren... when I left)
5. Combat / Action orientated
6. Prefer Tactical combat vs Twitch combat, I am in South East Asia and am older (36 yrs). Higher Ping + Age combines to slower reflects
Is there any game like L4D, GW2, B&S or FF14 without crazy time sink vertical gear grind? I like doing group pve content that gives a sense of progression but not one that sucks all my time and one that is good mix of vertical and horizontal progression. And I dont mind new gear is they do not force a time sink of hundreds of hours, just to tell you GG, new gear is massive overpowered compared to your current gear now.
I liked Blade and Soul, but man the P2W aspect of the Taiwan server was killer and they made it that if you dont pay, you dont progress or progress at a snail pace. And USA servers was too laggy.
Basically, I am an old man, that wants to relive his younger mmorpg days and play co-op pve group games without the grind and time needed.

I am looking at this 3 games currently. Thanks
GW2 was meh....very button mashy, no skill.
ESO so unlike other elder scrolls games it turned me off.
I dont know... maybe I need to wait haha
Terra is really fun, but I am scared of the end game grind. Still only level 20. Those dungeon bosses HP are zzz.
ESO, I am going to try again. Tried it a year ago, no idea why, but it felt boring, too big barren areas and inventory system too complicated. Did not help that my inventory was full every 15 minutes making me have to run back to town too often.
Its probably going to feel much the same...unless you subscribe, which alleviates some of those problems. The newer, DLC zones are much, much better than the base game, and subbing gets you an infinite space crafting items bag, which means the only thing clogging up your inventory is...gear, potions, and misc items pretty much. However, that does sort of nullify some of the games 'benefit', being a B2P game and all, but it does smooth out the experience a lot.
Whether you will find what you want in the dungeons, combat and all that though...well, that's more up in the air, particularly with the new "Tamriel Unlimited" which makes getting gear and levels feel somewhat...superfluous.
