Of course they're not going to make major design changes at this point.

Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV, WoW, Blade and Soul, Guild Wars 2, Wildstar, Lord of the Rings Online -- they've all had playstyle and in-game lifestyle differences that could (or would) never be incorporated into the other MMOs. The developers can provide new Quality of Life changes, but cannot radically revise the basic underlying code base. At that point, you write another game entirely or leave the current one on life support, which is what happened with GW2 and LOTRO (and Wildstar until they shut it down entirely).
