    I really wouldn't call 4, 8 or even 24 players massively multiplayer. Another defining feature for the MMO(RPG) genre is a large persistent world where the player interaction occurs. Dungeons put a small amount of people in an instanced zone which is completely disconnected from other players (excluding chat) and ceases to exist after completion. I started my MMORPG career with Eve Online, after that these dungeon crawlers felt... Well... Not MMO. For comparison, Guild Wars 1 was not an MMO but a coop-RPG according to the devs themselves. FFXIV is getting more and more closer to that with the almost dead open world.

    I'm sorry, that was nitpicking but if someone says dungeons make an MMO an MMO, it just triggers me

    I know how you feel, I've stopped playing several MMO's because of forced instanced dungeons. When I have time to play, I want to get stuff done instead of sitting in queue hoping for a dungeon pop. Finding a nice guild with active and helpful members will make things much easier, that way you can do the dungeons in less than half an hour because you don't have to wait for others. Assuming there's enough people online, of course.
