    Wild Star is a perfect example of this. Good MMO, but focused so much on the hardcore, it couldn't keep a healthy playerbase.

    Yeah. The focus and rush to endgame will also have consequences for the community at large.

    There's slightly more to it on that front. Players internationally had bad ping. Players in Asia/Oceania couldn't compete properly with their pings and at the time it was hard to reduce the latency. Since there was no way for them to be viably competitive they got immediately alienated from endgame, I played from Australia and while I ADORE Wild Star I know that its bad choices with servers killed us off pretty quick.
