What is this I don't even...

Break the mold and fail - People complain.

Breaking the mold for the sake of breaking the mold is between what makes games fail, as they're weighed down by mechanics that simply aren't fun for the sake of writing how original they are on the back of the box. What make a MMORPG good is how fun and community-building it is, now its originality. Traditional elements can be remixed and composed in a myriad of ways, and saying that MMORPGs that include the same elements automatically play or feel the same is disingenuous and simply untrue.

Stick to MMO traditions and do nothing else but that - people complain.

Which doesn't apply to this game, so we're all good.

Do you play FPS games? Why do you think despite the "cool to hate on" situation Halo gets it was praised despite being a typical FPS? Same genre underneath, but enough to stand out. This is what MMOs need to do if they decide to "stick to standards."

And in the meanwhile Call of Duty continues demolishing it in terms of sales and overall success.
