Last I checked, no new MMO's besides TERA are really raising the bar. GW2 has some interesting gameplay elements too but other then that? I don't see any high standards being set. Also, having voiced content isn't a standard. WoW doesn't have it, and it frankly doesn't need it either. That kind of content in my opinion works for certain games. I would like a bit more in XIV but what I did get was enough for me. I want to play a game after all, not watch a movie.

If SE fixes the issues with this game, and starts churning the patches out faster, people will stay and play.

Just my 2c!
