The problem isn't that the game is dead. The problem is that the game was far from user friendly, and it failed commercially even for that reason.

FFXIV is risking as well, exactly for the same reason (between others), and the vast majority of people are demanding improvements in user-friendlyness. Using a game that wasn't exactly a champion of user-friendly approach as an example to improve a game that has the same flaw isn't exactly the best course of action. IMHO.
