I think if you’ve been around in the genre long enough, you start to see the wheel come full circle and you realize that people are having the same arguments over and over and it can be utterly exhausting.
For example, some arguments have come and gone several time – the decline of World of Warcraft, the tussle over free-to-play, the NGE, and gankboxes. Others are still alive and well, like pay-to-win. I hear the term “pay-to-win” nowadays and even though I know it’s a legitimate discussion to have, I’m just tired of participating because I know no progress will be made.
What argument about MMOs do you wish people would stop having?
