To be fair, the only games I have seen that use that model have lasted for years and years. We see lots of this style of game go out of business or go F2P all the time.

I find those games preferable to games where you queue with strangers for everything, levelling takes days and the bulk of the content is twitch and maintain rotation that is outdated in 3 months.

The giant tank and spank mobs in XI were limited to 18 man parties. Higher-participant content was mostly add management, not tank and spank.
