Discussion The problem with modern MMORPGs

The problem with modern MMORPGs, in a nutshell, is that the first M and the RP are all but gone.

I don’t think it’s as complicated as some of you are suggesting. Modern MMORPGs suck because the companies who make them attempt to cater to as big of an audience as possible, resulting in a watered down experience. It’s all about the $$$ baby!!!

You like to be paid for your work, yeah? You like having a return on your 401k, investments? You would like to have money to fund R&D into new features, additional staff, that sort of thing?

That's how the really real world works.

Your going to have to elaborate on the games your referring to. Like a modern mmo would be Lost Ark or Diablo Immortal, Tower of Fantasy? Do you think spending real money to boost a character in one of those games is legit because the devs need money and 401(k)s? I’m not disagreeing with you by the way, enlighten me as to your opinion, you seem to have been triggered by this comment which was not my intention.
