It's not that it would remove MMO aspects so much as that it would require a significant amount of man hours to create such a system- a system that very few people would actually use when there are already other options available (doing it as intended, low-manning, even soloing eventually). These man hours would be taken away from what could go into other content such as a deep dungeon which would have a much broader audience.
