That's a different type of game. MMOs hook people in by allowing progression and rewarding you for both skill and grinding. Although I think there can be a balance... if you remember Vanilla, where if you tried to roll an alt, you had no chance at ever gearing them up unless you were already in a top raiding guild and got handed gear right off the bat by filling a role that was needed, or by doing that atrocious rank grind system. That was too much. Being able to grind out pvp and pve gear from 2 seasons ago was a start, but maybe not enough. This new system could work... if they do it right.
