How to Kill an MMOG

I think this is something we all fall victim to: there is an MMOG out there that we just want to see die. Their ever-growing success leaves this bitter taste in our mouths, and suddenly everything tastes disgusting in our lives. But to compensate, a near-insatiable urge to kill rises within us, satisfied only by the demise of the source inflicting this desire unto us.

But how to down such a formidable foe? The typical torch and pitchfork approach isn't enough to topple this beast; first we must understand how it thrives, how it perpetuates its disdainful venture unharmed with age. I believe I have tapped into its source of power. I will offer suggestions to fell this beast and cast it into the depths of obscurity.

"Thus, what is of supreme importance in war is to attack the enemy's strategy." (Sun Tzu, The Art of War). MMOGs may seem daunting at first, especially the successful ones. Imagine creating a character in such a game, and then attempting to bring it down single-handedly. Not only would this prove unsuccessful, but you would be laughed and scoffed at - probably even lose a sense of your dignity.
