It seems to me like it's only flawed depending on what you want out of the game.

If we're gonna talk about hogs, there has never been a corn trap I haven't gotten bored of and ended up leaping the fence. Every few years I might feel some nostalgia and go back to said corn for a week or two, but ultimately I'll end up leaping right back over those walls in search of something else. Final Fantasy XIV, to date, has been the only MMO where I leave with the expectation that I'll be coming back when enough time has passed and new content has been released. Gone are the days where I'd wish I could be like the people I'd meet who've played the game for years at a time without unsubscribing or taking a break longer than a week or two. I couldn't do it when I was a kid in junior high just starting out in EverQuest, and I can't do it now 15+ years later.

I guess I'm just really good at jumping? ;p
