The most annoying thing about this genre is people getting anal over the term MMO

Both sides of the argument are idiotic, hence the whole debate is idiotic. It's like one of those religious debates between atheists and Christians. Both have their own views, one tries to claim the moral high ground and the other tries to claim the scientific high ground. To what end? Both are valid viewpoints and as bad as atheists in particular may hate to hear it, neither side has more evidence than the other. And Christians can't just rely on their own internal faith to convince someone else if they don't have it.
You can either accept what other people choose to call a particular thing or you can't. When it's something as subjective as a subclass within a genre it's a futile effort to try to coerce other peoples perception of it and keep barking your rhetoric down everyone's throat. This is one part of our society that needs to be dragged into the street and shot. Just stop.
Who in their right mind would blame the MMO name for lack of social interactions?
Stop blaming the players. It's the game companies and devs. It's not that players want to solo everything. More that they want to be able to do stuff solo and groups/raid. Solo is great for when you can't find group or don't have time to do a full group event etc.
Feels like pointless rant but yet took time reply cause we all like to put our 2 cents in, as you did with the topic.
Good lucks, have fun, and here to hoping for good MMO again someday.
Listening to the jesus and mary chain....
I think it's hard to quantify what massively means nowadays since the genre has split off into so many different sub-genres. LoL has several million people playing it yet you only see 5 other people at once?
I think the traditional sense of the word is when you had the potential to see 100s of players on the screen at once.
That was meant as help but for some reason the OP took great offense in GW1 not getting the MMO label.
I find it rather funny that he makes this rant post where he claims "there are more important things" yet he is the one to bring up this nonsense again.
