The sad truth is that old school MMOers are far far outnumbered by people who have never experienced anything but easy MMOs, we just have to accept that we will never be the target demographic of another big budget game.

Very sad but true. There is a reason P99 had to be created independently. No major developer really cares enough to bring challenge back to a game, what would that create for them? Certainly not a huge profit (which is what they want), all they would get is complainers that the game is too hard and that their subscribers don't have the time to sit down and grind out levels and gear. People would quit because they want things easy and they want to be able to show off their fancy looking gear, not actually put in the major game time to get it.
Most are more concerned with graphical content and user friendliness nowadays (why do you think the iPhone is so popular?). It doesn't matter that the content of the game is shitty or that the game is easy, just as long as they can achieve the highest level and cool gear. Sucks, but that's just how it is.
