I think it does. For gamers that want more quality in this genre. The "gamespace" that wasn't realized until WoW came out shows, in my opinion, that botched MMORPG's being released into the market damn near gave the entire genre a black eye which didn't go away. You won't see that excuse used though because someone, somewhere, would have to be culpable. I think it got to the point where normal consumers were not buying these games because of poor feedback about bugs, unfinished game, inaccessibility, etc. It hurt the market, and because of it, gave everyone the impression that games like this were fighting over a core market base of a very limited niche when in all actuality those gamers were there all along (Which shows today) but weren't going to pay money for such horrid product.
Now not only are the inaccessible design ideas back in full force, but the fact that another MMORPG is about to hit the market in another horrid state. We don't need any more of that in this genre. It's already taken a beating enough as it is because of that stigma that was glued to it. I would rather see Vanguard go through a revamp, delay the game indefinitely. Instead, we're about to get another SWG. I guess the only upside this time is it isn't taking a popular IP down with it. Unfortunately, it is another shot in the face to a genre that was finally getting back up off it's knees.
