why is it so hard for devs to make great games these days? I feel like something had to have happen and the creativity and originality just stopped, or has everything been done before already?
This game has to die for the new golden age of MMOs to spawn. Think about it...

This, we're lucky we got so many great ones back in the heyday of the genre. Technology and business practices hadn't yet developed to the point where developers could easily cash in on an IP by making mobile games, loot boxes, cosmetics, endless DLC etc. They had to actually go to the trouble of making entire worlds with complex systems.

Dev teams back in the day were basically full of D&D nerds who were passionate about making a game. Now they're jobs in a soulless corporation.

XIV only has 1 million subs worldwide or is that not counting China?

I really enjoy the class diversity in WoW, do you think a new MMO will ever come close?
No other game has had a Deathknight class feel like a Deathknight, and no future game is going to have a Druid that can just be "bear Druid" or "cat Druid" etc.

Japs don't let Chinks play their games.

Yep. Wait a few years and you'll start seeing them pop up. Studio only formed a couple years back and still in development stages.
