        This is by no means an exhaustive list. Also, please note, these
        are critiques of intent vs. playability, which I categorize as "art
        vs. fun" -- when the players don't see or experience what the
        development team promises:

        - The One True Way to Roleplay
        http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/columns/ackjul99.html
        "I haven’t played on a text MUD (or MUSH) since Ultima Online came
        out."
        
        Did I mention that a lot of my feedback comes from disgruntled
        players who quit MMORPGs and went back to MUDs?
        
        Perhaps the issue is that the MMORPG forums are exactly the wrong
        place to be listening for customer feedback. Those aren't the
        customers I'm talking about -- indeed, the customers I'm talking
        about are disgusted long before they would engage in a forum, a
        newsgroup, or a list. These are the folks who play those "dead"
        games -- tabletop RPGs, MUDs, among others. If they simply bashed
        the medium, I would agree that their opinion is irrelevant. But
        it's not irrelevant, because they paid, and then they stopped
        paying.
        
        They were lost as customers.
        
        Fundamentally, this thread can't really go anywhere without
        developing the concept of what the target customer is. Obviously, I
        believe everyone I just listed has a valid opinion, because they're
        paying customers. Conversely, one could argue they aren't the
        target market. But I'm of the opinion the target market is anyone
        with a credit card. In which case, just about every person's
        opinion about the game is valid.
        
        We can go round and round with this, but it won't mean much if we
        can't define whose opinion SHOULD matter. I'm curious as to what
        the ideal player is -- the one that's SHOULD be playing MMORPGs.
