I feel like the MMO genre as a whole is just not in a good spot. it's like all the devs in the industry attended a seminar where they were given the same advice on how to make their game. The problems in 14 can pretty much be a copy pasta of a lot of different MMOS. For example in ESO the forums there are also on fire, we have a lot of threads saying that overland is pointless, they think devs are ignoring veterans and are trying to appeal to new players who don't really like MMOs or multiplayer games. They find that it takes too long to get story content. They think that classes are too homogenised but somehow have unacceptable dps gaps between them, they say that raids (well ESO only gets one raid per expansion) have gone stale and are too predictable. It's wild to be playing two different MMOs and have both of them be unsatisfying in the same way at the same time.
