This isn't an MMO

[Grailer]

Unless you are doing FATES , this isn't an MMO .

Battlefield 3/4 on PC had 64 players in a server .

This has 24 max and mostly its 4-8 players .

How is this an MMO ?

It just means that there are a large number of people playing the same game, not necessarily the same activity in that game. Not really that difficult of a concept. @.@

There's more than 64 players on the realms. Just because they don't choose to be in the same place as you doesn't make it less 'massive'. I'd say there's probably more than 100 people in the cities crafting/waiting for duties to pop.

Yes I understand that. But they are more like lobbys.

So if they have the potential to display 100+ people in one place , why not make more OPEN world dungeons or bosses to take full advantage of it ? MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE BATTLES .

Well FATES kind of do that, well potentially. the developers seem to be slowly introducing stuff so I bet we'll get a proper world boss this year somehow. The only problem with world events is that they are uncoordinated. Other games that have world bosses you usually have multiple raids taunting the boss and then wiping everyone.

Yep I did mention that FATES are the only MMO part of this game . Some people actually enjoy camping just like some people like fishing .

the thing is, the vast majority does .not. enjoy these things

I have fond memories of camping these things for hours, yes. you know why? because I did it with friends or got to know nice people.
now guess what? I do things with friends or meet nice people in ARR, too! the things that I do I have fun with because I am always quite the 'chatterbox'. granted I also annoy quite a handful, but in general I hope I'm a 'tolerable' player people like to spend time with. no matter if I'm camping some ridiculous spawn - or if I do a dungeon 10 times a day.

Damm I don't miss the camping but I miss the variety of battles FFXI had. Not the current Phase 1 2 3 4 5 stuff and the zerg Fates.
