Insatiable Player Base... What do you need?

[ZDamned]

Since Every single MMO I ever join has the same exact complaints on the forums, I need to ask what is it that all these players require for a game to launch properly?

From what I can tell, I think this is what needs to be done to alleviate the complaints of this insane group of MMO Hoppers.

1) Level cap of 100
-A) It must be do-able solo without talking to any other players, or grouping, because it's an MMO, why play with people, right?
-B) It must also be doable at a rate of 20 levels per day, or else the game is too "Grindy".

2) All classes must be 100% Balanced as if the game were somehow in testing for 5 years before it was released.
-A) The Developers must be amazingly mathematical, and all knowing, to account for each and every combination of ability usage and class mixing to alleviate any being worse than another.
-B) Every class must be completely different from how their roles are portrayed in EVERY other MMO, or else they will be boring, uninspired, unoriginal, and lazy.

3) There MUST be at the very least PVP, (World/Arena/Duel), and Raid Content enough to last every single player at least 3 years worth of time from the day the game first releases, and every single fight must be perfectly tuned, and balanced from the get go with no bugs, or glitches in the fights.
-A) Regarding Raids, at least 5 Tiers of gear, each dramatically better than the last, so that way you can feel WAY better than those who don't have YOUR tier yet. All pieces only drop 1 per fight too, so if you get your gear, it means your way better than whose who were unlucky with drops.
-B) PvP must be the primary focus of the game, because nobody actually cares about raiding care bears. The top players (5) must have their characters plastered all over the world too, because their bad Arsery must be acknowledged by all who tremble before them.

4) Developers must communicate directly with every player immediately upon noticing a complaint. (Who would complain though, seriously?!)
-A) They must listen to every single persons needs, and change the game instantly, because those players are all experienced developers who have created much better games in their life time.
-B) They must be grammar Nazi's and fluent in every language too, or else they are going to alienate their foreign players, as well as have context used against them if they make a mistake on what they were mentioning.


So, did I hit the mark with a perfect MMO Launch requirement?

(Thanks for pointing out that I can edit to bypass a character limit)

Launching properly? The term is hard to define because of individual expectations. Some expectations are as followed:

1) Has to be a long Journey grindy ( I fall under this category)
2) Has to be quick because I hate grinding, make most content end-game related!
3) Crafting needs to be engaging
4) Gathering needs to be engaging

If there main reason of coming into the game is less than stellar, then it didn't launch properly. Some people can take the game for what it is and know what they are looking for will come in future patches, others can't.

More endgame content than 2 hours a week, currently.

I can't believe people still don't know you can edit posts to bypass the character limit.

I can't believe people still don't know you can edit posts to bypass the character limit.

Sorry, I don't post often. It's an unwritten rule, so how can you expect everyone to know about it?

Good server security that doesn't allow practically anyone to steal your gil while you're logged in without being able to do anything about it except wait until someone addresses it one by one.

Oh and better security to stop teleporting and gathering hacks but you know, entitlement and all, if you don't like it leave, can I have your stuff (literally anyone can have it now even if you don't want them to), game was just released give them time, this is just beta phase 7 wait for phase 8, etc.

The game needs chocolate cake. Then it shall be perfect.
