because that specific formula makes a lot of money and that’s the only thing that matters
>>2719718>Kinda this.Its safer to make a WoW clone in 2005-Current Year than it is to innovate and make Crush/Warmonger Online, or APB, etc

Why do mmos always have like 15 gay not fun mechanics that get shoe horned in that have nothing to do with role playing or multiplayer? Hotbar combat sucks, questing is literally never worth your time because it's all piss easy and balanced around playing solo, or even forcing you to play solo like final fantasy does, and nobody interacts outside of towns. The only content worth engaging with is dungeons, and those are instanced, so it's like every other co-op game except the combat sucks because of the hotbar combat which only exists so the servers can handle all the inputs in the open world questing half of the game, but nobody interacts with each other so it might as well not exist.
>>2784417yeah but if you don't do all that then people say it's not a TRVE KINO MMORPGlobby games mog the fuck out of MMOs, but everyone spergs out because they need their open world slop
>>2793556I'd be cool with the open world shit if anything actually happened in the open world, or if you actually needed a party to navigate, or literally anything that a bot couldn't automate and save you 40-70 hours of terrible gameplay.
