They should put actual MMO players on the development team.

Nonsense. They have ppl that play MMO helping them. Plus like yoshi said. You can't do both. Work at SE, and play an MMO 8 hours day. When do you sleep? Most of them were players before they got hired. When you get to work making games, usually you don't have time to play the games. Know what I mean?

Yeah, that's exactly what I said; they don't have time to play so they need to hire people that do... And when you say most of them were players... Players of what? I know Yohi-P has mention playing Dark Age of Camelot and Diablo II, not really much help there. Even if some of them were casuals in the past I'm talking about putting hard core, basement dwelling, elitist mmoplayers on the staff who actually know how a MMO should work.

The DEV team has the technical skills needed but not the design sense... that's the #1 reason that this game has been suffering since day 1 imo. Granted Yoshi-P's teams doing a much better job, they may even salvage this game. However if they want to go above and beyond they're going to have to do better.
