Have MMO players lost their way?

Because to make it mainstream and try to grab every type of gamer, you need to compromise the content.

It's like when you compromise with another person. Neither get exactly what they want, but both walk away thinking that at least they got something.

EDIT: So neither think it's an awesome deal, but a good/decent one.

Yes exactly. Pretty much my views on how most AAA game companies operate. Said it better than I could.
