True True but you don't know how opinions of a certain game genre can change....hell if this zenimax does something radically different which may bring new people into the genre. I just think some people think the misconception of WoW that it represents every MMO.
I personally like MMOs, I've played WoW for a long time and played LotRO for a bit. I agree though, WoW created two kinds of people: Those that enjoyed it and thus are open to MMOs, and those that completely hate it and despise MMOs because of it, often for unfounded reasons just because it was so popular and in their face.
I think you're a little more optimistic about the community than I am though, atleast Community Discussion which is who I was referring to when I said they mostly dislike MMOs. I don't doubt a TES MMO would be popular, just don't think CD would be on board, which is why it's futile to post here about it and expect the masses to start cheering, which I think is what the OP was going for.
