I mean, he was surprised that hunts, something implemented due to player request, "even worked." He doesn't have a clue how to make a long lasting MMORPG.
Thing is if you are going to call someone clueless for reviving a failure from the fires then go ahead and make your own MMO and realize how hard it is to pull in people with "hardcore" mechanics that force you to spend an excessive amount of time to just keep up with those around them.
