I respectfully disagree.

For me to spend $15/month on a mmog, I need the total package. PvE, PvP, crafting, gameworld, classes, economy, etc.

Why is WoW so successful? No one gives you the total package like they do. I'm currently playing W:AoR after a year w/ LotRO. I was willing to give up better PvE and crafting for PvP, classes, and for me, gameworld. But I miss WoW sometimes still, for the balance that game has.

For pure PvE, I'll play Fallout 3 or Fable 2. The point of a mmog is to provide the entire breadth of gameplay options.
