I agree with the OP's post! I have only dabbled in a few MMO's but I have mainly stuck to WoW for the past 7ish years since late vanilla before the first expansion came out. Greed happens to studios or their publishers and then the game starts to expand to "please" everyone, including the casual players. This leaves hardcore or semi hardcore players at a disarray because now things are easy and stuff is handed to casuals who do half the work the more dedicated players do. Then when content is easy people demand more stuff and it's a never ending vicious cycle. Right now I'm waiting on Wildstar which includes some of the original devs from WoW so their focus is for the hardcore/semi hardcore players (think 20/40 man raids and 40 man PvP warplots where you invade other teams warplots) and it appeals to casuals with player housing that you can FULLY decorate inside and out. In fact a lot of the stuff you miss seems to be in WIldstar, but we should still be cautious no matter what until the game is out and people have gotten their hands into the gameplay system. A lot of people think this game is THE game that MMO's are supposed to be all about, but again, don't be too excited yet.
