I wonder if the group here realizes the irony of comments like this (or if they just couldn't care less about distorting reality). One guy comes in and comments bad things about WoW, four of you jump on him (supporting the very comment he was making), continue high-fiving each other, and then claim the "common" thing on the forums is defending SE? Just wow. (Hint: The only "common" thing around here is getting ganged up on for daring to say anything positive about the game and not perpetuating the negative echo chamber.)

To the original topic, whether it's a bait post or not, the simple reality is that MMO's are no longer the "king" of gaming like they were 10-15 years ago. Mobile games, MOBA's, and P2W have become the dominant forces at present. The amount of cost that would go into developing a brand new MMO compared to the risks of it failing in the current gaming environment are likely just not worth it.
