A lot of things in WoW persist because of inertia and publisher risk adversity.

WoW did many thing right. It did a hell a lot wrong too. The "WoW way" isn't the only way.

I don't really understand why everyone wants things to be like WoW. If I wanted things the "WoW way", I would play WoW. But I'm sick of the "WoW way", I came from WoW, after 8 years I'm a tad bit bored of it.

I'm not asking for the removal of WoW-like combat, just asking that it be supplemented for players who can't play properly due to bad ping and are hence excluded.
