>>35215142>MMOs are always just grindfests decided to take your shekels.This is true, but it can still be fun. The developers don't put in the effort because
-MMOs are a step above normal game development in terms of effort vs payoff.
-They don't want to dump all their effort into the game only to get a C&D from Nintendo/TPC.
-They don't care because people will play it and pay them money for shitty vanity for their avatars anyway.
-A combination of the three.
>>35215156>Because MMOs are insanely difficult to get right.Not true. MMO developers don't like taking risks because of the gargantuan amount of time it takes to make features work in an MMO environment, so the large majority of them just play it safe and either stick to what they know or go along with popular trends. It's one of the main reasons we got so many World of Warcraft clones in the MMO market throughout the late 00s/early-mid 10s - they're simply following what's popular, but come several years late because of how long it takes to make an MMO's engine, content, and so on.
