The obsoleting of the original content is the biggest thing for me. I don't like it.
I agree with this sentiment and this is one of my biggest complaints with WoW. When WoW first came out it their original mission statement was to not increase the level cap and only add more content for level 60 players, but that obviously didn't age well.

When I explain to my friends how in EQ, a new expansion would come out and most players would still be playing the old content, their minds can process how this is possible because all they've ever known is WoW. It's very possible, and I think for future MMOs to have a long-life, almost necessary..?

Like it feels really bad to log into WOW and realize that 99% of the content is trivial and ultimately pointless.

If I made a character on P99 right now, I would still be leveling in old zones, and I wouldn't be able to really skip over most raids. Every character I level on P99 has had a completely different route for progression and the game felt drastically different each time. On WoW you level off the exact same zones, and quest lines, and there's no reason to want to explore. There's no sense of adventure or reward from looking over the next hill to see what it may behold.
