In my mind, there are two types of MMO classes. There are ones that require a lot of hands-on skill, positional maneuvering, and careful attention to rotations and reactions. Then there the ones where you kind of just have to slam your hand down on the keyboard somewhere in the vicinity of the number keys to win.
I have played both types of classes, but I won’t deny that there’s a strong appeal for low-stress MMO classes. Sometimes I just want to sit back and pew-pew things with a three-button rotation without worrying about anything else. Sure, I know that this setup makes these classes very popular, and so I am doing nothing special to make myself stand out or to challenge myself, but brain-dead gaming has its appeal, especially after a long day.
