Which gameplay features actually have "mass appeal" ?

Are NPC quests and Instances really the features that the "masses" enjoy in MMOs? Or is it something else?

The looting of uberequip

I would say content with fun

i would say cash shop and rideable rainbow ponies.. or telletubbies.

I agree with this statement.

I think something that would give the sense of camaraderie and accomplishment as well as something story-driven. Something the escalates, has it's rough patches, has struggle/turmoil, has a pinnacle, and has something that feels like a real conclusion to it.

I think I wore myself out on that roller coaster ride...I better go lie down. =p

Personally I prefer rideable Twilight Sparkles.
