I was always super interested in legendary equipment, so when I came back to the game after years away I just picked one weapon from the list, put it into gw2efficiency, expanded it’s required materials list and looked through it until I saw something that requires me to do content which I felt comfortable doing, like map completion or open world events. From there I naturally re-familiarized myself with the game as I kept working towards the legendary.
I don’t get the other comments, this isn’t something unusual or praiseworthy, TF2 has been getting these “updates” consisting of a new lootbox + community maps of dubious quality, consistently for years
