I just decided to restart 'from the bottom' in a ladder game, but this time not trying to progress up the ranks but rather play more conscientiously than fast or good in other ways, or by trying out different ways of playing. So far I've been finding this to be a more pleasurable pastime. The irony is that I'm still climbing the ranks and will at some point reach a ceiling where I'll be grinding again. So far though it's like replaying an old favorite and doing all the side missions.
