Why is every MMO so fucking boring and samey?

Why is every MMO so fucking boring and samey?

No. Final Fantasy XIV finds even newer ways to be annoying. WoW's postgame is so bad that most people don't even plan on coming back for the next expansion.

Because RPGs are boring and samey unless they add a radical gameplay mechanic like the Mario & Luigi series.

Guild Wars 2 was interesting but end-game is shit

>Mario & Luigi series.
>Not boring and samey

Because life is boring and samey.

Because their point is to be skinner boxes. You're just supposed to feel enough "fun" to keep shelling out your money each month. Past that they don't care.

Everyone and their grandma wanted to be like WoW so rather than finding new ways to innovate (like what every other genre tries to do) they thought that copying and pasting the same hotbar spam + lifeless zone completion gameplay that MMOs are known for today would be a great way to make bank off the ravenous retards who eat that shit up.

at least superstar saga was different

Just play Vindictus. It may be full of bugs and handled by nexon, but combat and girls are top tier

>look up vindictus on steam
>mixed recent reviews
>overall reviews are borderlining mixed

yeah, fuck that

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nexon. I love the game, but I gave a negative review due to how shit the staff is

MMOs aren't about gameplay they're skinner boxes combined with chat rooms.

People "play" for the social aspects.

>pso2 localized
>never
>ever

pso is literally the only mmo i liked

Name ONE (1) MMO that ripped off Toontown Online or that Toontown Online ripped off. I'll be waiting.

>Lobby based game where 90% of the content is soloable
>MMO

>add a radical gameplay mechanic
>like the Mario & Luigi series
Leafblowers and ghosts?

And that's why I love it

What's stopping you from playing it now? Most of the game is translated and you don't need a VPN. They don't ban foreigners unless you're being a faggot. It's not very laggy since PSO2 isn't really an MMO.

Every issue with mmos could be fixed by making the game into a CRPG. Assuming the devs arent greedy fucks, or if the end game isnt just driven by cosmetics.

And thus, Club Penguin proves itself to be the best MMO ever created

>pay to pay to play

Because MMORPG's are an extremely money heavy, time consuming department. They can either generally go one of two ways -- the WoW way, in which they last for years and make hundreds of millions. And generally a gigantic profit. Or every other fucking MMO in the world, and generally fail pretty badly.
So because of that, there is very little reason to explore other aspects of MMO's. And they can't just create something entirely new, because no investors will bite on that shit.

you know when you play a multiplayer game and some annoying foreigner who speaks in a different language joins you and starts doing stupid shit and you literally can't do anything about it because of the language barrier between you two and makes the entire game a grueling experience?

i can imagine the japanese players would feel the same. i don't want to be that retarded foreigner no one likes.

Play wurm online

>2006
>sandbox mmo

Hello newfriend

>sandbox mmo
Do you prefer themepark shit with garbage "open worlds"?

Wurm is the very definition of what an mmo SHOULD be along with everquest

Mmos are about gay erping and not gameplay dummy

My NIGGERS i remember the great pillage on Sup Forums and Sup Forums yeeears ago i will never forget returning years after

>gives a bunch of these out for free as well
All the ugly things left in vindictus are due to the fact that it's a gook game

But it's not a fucking MMO you retarded idiot

Because it's just you doing the same fucking thing regularly. pic somewhat related

blizzdrones + really dumb investors thought WoW was a good game (it really just came at the right time and place, it's shitty as fuck)

That's a good thing
MMOs are shit

you grew up and realized that mmorpgs are the worst of the worst

I grew up and never got to play MMOs until 2 years ago

>blizzdrones
And you have no idea how much, the void left by warcraft was that huge...

>No "DFO in general"
Remember when they took the Arad Senki way of getting avatars and all those hacking sprees?
