Or, maybe you're not. Everyone has their own play styles, their own methods and their own interests in an MMO. Some people are perfectly fine dedicating themselves to one particular game and excelling at it completely.

Perhaps someone who enjoys console games and MMOs are more likely to support the newer titles that explore fresh gameplay mechanics and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/free-to-play">business models</a>.
