The fact is people want a quality game and not another copy of a certain MMO. They, me included, don't want a hub world where you only spam dungeons to get gear and repeat the process once new content gets released. We want more depth and a quality game.
While I agree with you, Yoshi has already made his design choice but its a little too late and well I dont see it getting better anytime soon or at all in the near future. This game has such potential but is being held back by design choice more than anything. If the dev's act now they maybe able to pull it off but they probably wont before its too late, the damage will already be done.
