not only are they a subset of an already bad genre, RPGs, they also take all of the worst aspects to the extreme. endless fetch quests, awful time gated grinding, etc, etc.

but wait, it's even worse! not only do you have to soulless grinds for shitty gear but you also have to play with other people of varying levels of competence who will likely hold you back when you're trying to progress. imagine wiping to fights constantly through no fault of your own because everyone else keeps fucking up in a genre that demands artificial difficulty, crazy shit

MMORPGs were only good in the 90s and very early 2000s

WoW killed the genre

Well yeah. Other players have always been the worst thing about video games, anonymity is the worst thing about the Internet, and the subscription model results in slow, grindy, boring-ass stretchathons. Put them all together and you have the MMO genre.

Yeah, VNs are he worst since they often don't even have game play let alone any choices. MMOs are a close second, though. They're intentially designed as time sinks and the quests are awful.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.

Ah yes, you don't play them but you're great at them and everyone else is holding you back. Perfectly reasonable statement.
