Honestly just #1 would guarantee my sub forever.



It's not unprofessional to see what works well in the competition and incorporate it to make your product more appealing. That is literally why WoW became so successful - they take what works (and often improve upon it) and incorporate it into the game.
Blizzard also doesn't exactly have a shiny rep either. As far as concepts go though many games use similar concepts, but using literal carbon copies of things from other games is what I'm referring to. Besides, games differ so much that something from 1 game is likely impossible to implement into or simply won't mesh with another game.
