one common thing among these crappy f2p mmorpgs
EDIT: more than one thing actually, from my experience, f2p mmorpgs 'game' have (only F2P MMORPG, not other F2P genre)
-launcher fails patching most of the time
-annoying item shop advertisements on launcher screen
-sloppy user interface
-stupid looking login screen
-uses ugly crooked white/yellow color arial/times new roman fonts
-slow responding buttons
-laggy user interface
-limited options for tweaking video settings
-huge glowing item shop button
-chatbox filled with gold spammer
-cities are populated with afk bots
-awkward character movements/fighting actions
-low quality in-game sounds/voices
-long grinding process to reach level cap
-half-arse done environment
-lots and lots mobs bunch up together waiting for you to grind

They pay like 10-50k dollars to publish rubish games that are already dead in korea just to profit here for a couple of months and then trash it...companies like PWI, Aeria, Ijji, Gpotato...etc. If they really wanted to publish a good game they wouldn't release games that have been out in Asia for half decade...why they don't do it? The answer is simple...with the money they would spend getting a fresh made mmorpg they can get the rights to publish 10 crappy mmorpgs that will give them the same benefits and less work...so why bother?

I mean honestly.. most game developers have an idea or a vision before they create a game. They sit down and think about what they want. Example; For a game like DCUO the conversation was probably something like ''Hey lets make an action based mmo based on the DCU!'' and they did it.
For one of these crappy Korean grindy games.. the conversation was probably something like ''hey! Lets make a game that's online.... and has no content, and is extremely grindy..that would be great!'' ''We should also make it extremely cash shop dependent and we will NEVEr listen to our players on what they want...after all, our goal is to be as crappy as can be!''

Excelent topic. This deserve to be pinned untill everyone on the ONRPG have a chance to read this and start to demand better games, voting with their money, hopefully affecting the future of the game industry.
Enlightment for all.
