if SE decided to build a game based on FFXI's foundation or some type of WoW-esce MMORPG, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

they decided to break the mold and do everything that was different from previous MMOs out there today and added with the fact that they released way too early is the reason why it is in this current state.

i believe that it should be the other way around and Bethseda should learn from SE on what to do and what NOT to do when releasing an MMO or any game for that matter. anything that Bethseda is going through i can guarantee SE has been through it before. releasing a unfinished MMO and turning it around into a profitable game, look at FFXI. nothing bethseda can tell SE that SE doesn't know already
