This was fun to read. I played this game back when I was 12/13, so it's interesting for me to read about other people just picking it up now with the added context of modern gaming.

I 100% understand all of your critiques. This game shines best as a 6 player dungeon crawler. Banding together for raids at a moments notice, dealing with raid or loot drama, fighting for first to engage on a raid target ... None of these things are very fun for me either. This coming from someone who has played multiple characters in this era to max level and spent an extensive amount of time raiding.

Long story short: In my opinion you already experienced the best parts of the game. If you get the itch to log in again, Kunark and Velious have some pretty fun group content.
