The problem is some of this meta-gaming stuff like aoe'ing fungus grove and sebilis is possible in the game mechanics and, was fun.
It became unfun due to non-policing of rmt and boxing teams. A lot of game mechanics became unfun due to rmt and boxing teams.
But rmt and boxing teams is now what the vast majority of potential players expect as a choice they should be able to make.
Big mistake mmorpg's did was not establish a strong tradition of the role of the GM in these kinds of games. The GM, is now a cashier at a store. You get what you pay for, literally.
There isn't any market for GM's in online games. That's just one of those big mistakes that shaped the future. Unless a GM is doing QoL stuff, no younger gamer even understands a GM used to be able to change the game.
