SE stop doing the "norm"

[Gramul]

in a word: no.

megacorporations pay marketing research teams millions upon millions of dollars for a reason. you don't think Big Tobacco became so big in the first place by accident, do you?

And they keep wasting those millions upon millions on things like:

• Overpopulating the 'rockband genre'
• Twitter on Xbox
• Generic FPS rebirths
• Too Human
• Capcom for the past 2 years
• Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts
• The Vita (sorry, it's just not catching on)
• Sonic06
• Final Fantasy Fourteen
• And relentless other failures and disappointments that have plagued this generation because of the over-reliance on "market researchers" that over-think some pretty simple concepts.
  

So in 2 words: Shut up.

Maybe I'm in the vast minority here, but I feel a much greater connection with my one character in one game than having to make multiples to do the exact same things in another. In FF14, I'm Orophin, the multi-talented warrior, mage, armorer, fisherman. In WoW, I'm Adam the Human Warrior who does blacksmithing and mining, Billy the Dwarven Hunter who does engineering and mining, Christina the space goat Paladin who does herbalism and alchemy... and it goes on.

But then again, I guess I'm one of the few people who doesn't see an MMO just as a loot pinata.

Well like I said, it's great, but not a huge selling point.

I mean, it didn't keep people for 1.0.
