[2019] What would be the best way to keep players busy?

There's a fine line between "a lot of work," and "a tedious grind." A line so fine that depending on who you ask it can go either way. How might this type of content impact players, including those who enjoy the game and the challenge but simply don't have as much time to play?

This is a bit of a tricky topic, as by its very nature a "meta" exists outside the game in a sense, as it made in part by meta-data, data about data. To grossly simplify the subject, the only way to have no meta whatsoever would be to have every weapon and every skill be literally the exact same, functionally meaning there is only 1 weapon and 1 skill. Even then, a particular style of play can create meta... Like I said, it's a tricky topic.

But balance and gear that upsets the meta is definitely worthy of further in-depth discussion!

I can always appreciate a game with those kind of large overarching challenges, even if only for personal bragging rights. How much do the meta-objectives of such commendations influence your moment-to-moment gameplay?
