Here's why:
With most of the MMO's that let you down, you see the flaws pretty early on. The letdown is mostly from bugs or not living up to the hype.
With City of Heroes, the letdown was a whole different beast. When that game came out, and everyone jumped it, it was pure revelation. Pure, "OMG, holy crap, this rocks, best game ever..." yada, yada, yada. It was seriously pure kickass goodness and you could not stop.
Then, around lvl 30, it began to dawn on you and everyone you played with. You've all seen everything, done everything, and it's all just repeating itself. Same mobs, same instances. It's a cave, it's an office, it's the same crap over and over and over and over and over again. And it felt wierd, and uncomfortable because you made all these friends and you all had talked about how much the game rocked and you were never looking back.... and one by one those friends just... disappeared. You started to feel like you were at the tail end of a great party, most everybody had gone home, and what were you still doing there? It got creepy. You had to leave.

CoH was EPIC letdown, really. SO much put into that game. Everything worked.. almost. It was like the most expensive practical joke ever. |
