Question WoW, EvE, Runescape and Dofus what are they doing right that everyone else does wrong

Someone in another forum was asking about a f2p mmo and since he was kicking the Runescape habit I suggested two games, one of which was Dofus because even though I never played the game I recall reading a chart that showed it along with the other games in my heading are the only one to not stop growing since their introduction.

Ironically though if you go to the main forums of these games there (well I've only been to 3 of them) there is constant bitching about flaws of those games.
So instead of picking on their flaws I wanted to examine what made them good.

A few of the things that comes to mind with the three games I played

EvE
-Provides the best player driven experience so far. EvE really fills that charm of enjoying a game while not playing it like Metal Gear Solid, Starcraft and a bunch of fighting games at an arcade.
-Has a wider and deeper depth of strategy than even strategy games.
-A space based game that doesn't blow complete ass

Runescape
-Ton of skills you don't see in other mmos (farming and agility for example)
-The quests are pretty creative (rescueing Prince Ali and unlocking all the secret in the haunted mansion don't get old)
-number crunching wasn't that neccessary to get ahead.


WoW
-The instances get more and more epic
-the zones are just amazing (I love Arathi Highlands and Razorfen Kraul)
-the way your class can change with gear keeps them fresh even though it does have some drawbacks
-the combat system when pvping is a lot of fun
