[WSIB] I want the multiplayer and community of a MMO, but without the gameplay of a MMO. What should I play?

So I love creating ny own character and dressing them up how I want. I love getting involved with a huge world. And I really want to play with others, finding my place and community among them, like a great guild I belong in. As far as I know, I want a MMO, since there aren't other genres that do that.

Problem is, I tried all the MMOs I could and just don't mesh with the actual gameplay. Tab target combat doesn't feel fun to me, especially when I need to follow a hotbar rotation, which kills the chances of games like GW2, FF14, and WoW. Just being stupidly OP because of high numbers also bores me immensely, which kills the chances of Warframe. And I don't see the appeal in having to grind for the "correct" endgame armor to bring on a mission, so ESO isn't quite fitting for me.

I used to be a Destiny player, but enjoyed it more when you COULDN'T melt everything on a patrol or strike with ease. Back when I could just bring what gear I liked but served its purpose for the encounters, I would have so much fun with the mobility and gunplay. Unfortunate that the game leaned away from that. Otherwise, I LOVE Monster Hunter combat and how you can build for your playstyle instead of meta. It just doesn't have that certain something to make it feel like a possible virtual third place or community, like a MMO would. It does way better than games like DRG and Helldivers 2 (games with fun gameplay, but even less community feeling in game. Also just not a fan of either world), but not quite enough, especially with new content not happening till the expansion.

Is there anything I should play? Anything people with similar tastes are playing just to tide them over at least?
