I feel the same way. I there's a reason I can go back and play the older games like NWN and NWN2 but I can't remotely get into playing BG3 and it's 100% based on this.

I get that the fully turn based feel appeals to some nostalgia glasses and folks that are genuinely new to that style of game, but between the Isometric Camera and the full Turn Based mode I feel like I'm playing a game from 30 years ago even if the graphics are modern and I just don't have that kind of patience anymore.

Raids require skill, everyone has to play their part and pull their weight. Unlike DDO where you can have one guy, scratching his sack looking at gay porn, half the raid is in Discord talking shit cause the raids are so basic there is no need to communicate or coordinate anything. How you do in all raids is uploaded and tracked with a 3rd party program called FFLOGS. It shows world rankings, none of this BS DDO cheese, if people do good DPS, they actually do good DPS. Classes are well balanced, it is not just a button-mashing session like DDO. All classes have unique combos, or openers to maximize every microsecond of combat. The raid and group bosses have insane group mechanics, where the entire raid has to dance in and out. One person fucks up the whole raid is can be screwed. Although I like DDO, the end-game raids are honestly fucken dog shit.

And those people need significant numbers of reaper points - don't forget that.

DDO has an unfortunate and very unhealthy relationship with the "need gear to run high difficulty"/"need to run high difficulty" problem. This is the consequence of making items drop ONLY in end-chests gated by difficulty. It just further shuts out new players.

I cannot even imagine the number of runs it takes to do that kind of thing. That goes beyond playing the game as a second job. I think if your full gear-set is that tricked out you are officially married to the game.

Yeah... that tracks. I'm just thinking about how long it would take even IF you could faceroll all content on R10... you might juuuuust catch that last piece right before the new xpac comes out and makes all your gear obsolete.
