If a game is not balanced around casual players, it will fail incredibly fast. The people playing MMOs these days are very different from the ones who played EQ or FFXI at launch. People either don't have the time or don't want to invest any time into a game. They want to pop on for an hour at a time and be able to accomplish everything. There's not much room for hardcore players anymore because catering to them is a death sentence.

It's a double-edged sword. In my opinion, it severely dumbs down many games that could have been great.
