Is SOE losing future consumer interests in the MMO market?

Just want to hear people's input on whats going on with SOE as well as what needs to happen to the next generation of MMOs.

In my opinion, as time ticks away, SOE seems to continue on a downward slop in how they handle MMOG. I've noticed they been buying out a lot of MMO or partnering with other developers. Its a big market and a lot of money is to be made even if your MMOG is not on the top ten. However, consumers will eventually wise up then rise up and demand better service and content. I can see it happening now as more people post about how "carebear" like MMOG are becoming; Simplified. Could you imagen a book with all of its depth taken out? Better yet, have football simplified so that no one misses a catch? Boring! I personally rather have a something a little more complex with a deeply developed storyline that is relative to the quests that are given.
