I stand by this being a warning. If they want to be a bland, forgeteble and "standard" mmo. Do this. Do whatever you want really. But fact is, this game will crash and burn faster than a Saad 37 that looses a wing.
One thing I think devs can and should so is watch Josh Srtife Hayes (https://www.youtube.com/c/JoshStrifeHayes).
This guy has awsome insight into mmorpgs and is on the path to trying all mmos worth its disk space. So let me me change my statement:
A WARNING TO DEVS! WATCH JOSH STRIFE HAYES!
Yeah, Josh has quite the knowledge, and I am following him for quite some time now. Hopefully, we will collaborate with him once we advance more in development.
