And these strike you as good selling points for a game to be a commercial
success?  "Let's take everything that frustrates and drives away all but the
uber-hard-core, and put those in our game!"

It might well make for a game that die-hard MMO fans will love... but that
doesn't make for a high probability commercial success.  I guess it all
depends what they're after.
