Balance... just sayin.
because then THAT would require some seriously innovative game design...
And the cost effective approach is to be only as innovative as you need to be to pull in as many subs as possible

Thats why so many games clone a certain MMO

whether its the chicken or the egg... its got to stop somewhere...
And we are more likely to see a design change than a change in the mindset of players everywhere
