Myria, you're not getting it.

No one is saying an MMO without combat... no one is saying a "drive to work MMO".

The entire point is that MMOs exist in open worlds,and there are HUNDREDS of options for different styles of gameplay to be satisfied there.

If someone wants to play ONLY as a crafter, so be it. ONLY as a merchant, so be it. ONLY as a diplomat, so be it.

MMO developers are doinga huge disservice to their players and the worlds they create by simply offering combat as "the game"
