What would your near-perfect MMORPG be like? Using only elements from MMORPGs that have already been made and played by at least....let's say 10,000 people minimum, re-combine them into a close approximation of your perfect MMORPG.

Mar 20, 2012 23:15:37 Dual-Class like in Guild Wars (original) or Runes of Magic.

Set number of skills instead of infinite like in Guild Wars, League of Legends, Diablo III or such.

Items with random properties like in the Diablo series.

Hack-'n-slash like in Diablo.

Different modes of PvP. (LoL style, arena style, seige-defend style, ect.)

Customization like Skyrim.

More than one look for armor sets.

No raging scrubs. (I can hope.)

Easily accesable PvE content.

Scaling level like in Guild Wars 2.
