Are MMOs DYING!?...or are we just expecting too much?

Why bother to write books or create movies or write songs or create art if you can't "dethrone the king"?

People do those things because they have something to say and a medium to say it in. Whether it becomes number 1 or not is irrelevant. It's a nice bonus if it attracts more attention, but that is not a requirement for the creation of the work.

It is as true with video games as it is with art, with one exception. The goal in the video game industry is to create something that first and foremost makes a profit.

What is FF14 saying other than "let's regurgitate content from 10 years ago and call it a day"

Are we expecting too much, is exactly the language devs want to hear. Means they have to pull off less effort.

That's why devs got mad at BG 3 as well, meant they had to actually start putting in effort again and they were mad.
