All the modern MMO games I've played have been shit. They look great in screenshots, but you get into the game and it's sterile as hell, boring, hand-holdy, and hampered by unwieldy mechanics and ideas that sounded great in the press release, but were never practical or even needed.
The problem here is that they keep trying to make one-size-fits-all games that appeal to every possible playstyle, gender, political affiliation, and sexual orientation you could come up with. In trying to please everyone, they fall short of pleasing anyone and the game fails.
It's 2016. We should have MMORPGS so amazing that I want to transplant my fucking brain right into the computer so that I never have to stop playing.
Instead I'm still playing some cokehead's elf fantasy from the late 1990's.
