Criticism is fine, and necessary, but let's be rational here.
Many people are just clung to the idea that MMOs should ultimately consume a significant amount of time, and be a 'one size fits all' type scenario with many people being allergic to the prospect of other games fitting their memo better. This is not to say the game is without fault and nor should critique be made, but I think when the critique is a contradiction or a deviation of their game design philosophy, then it just stands to say there are ultimately other places that might be better accommodating of needs.

I can see his mindset being a double-edged sword, especially from a business standpoint, but if I were to look in certain areas, I think it becomes woefully obvious why the mindset of playing something else is not a bad one.
