While it might bring a bigger market there is still a market for thoose that actualy enjoy the older style of it, and there is only so much room for a handful of successfull MMOs following a very similar formula.
Same backlash you can see from todays popular shooters, which are all pretty much the same deal, more and more reviewers and gamer forums state they would welcome a return to the old style of it.

Companies see the success of gamse such as WoW and MW and try to copy it to their best of their abilites, and while thoose games sells in millions their competition just doesnt have all that much success in comparison.

Especialy true in video games is that just because something is popular it doesn't make everything thats different from it inferior, otherwise we'd all be playing some kind of version of Farmville right now.
