Sadly, my analytics tools require a clear enough definition to do their job, so unless we want Skyforge and Trove to show up in that analysis, we'd have to define a bare minimum for 'Action MMO', as Vhaeyne points out (honestly Skyforge almost passes the test, but like most such games, seemed to figure that they didn't need to do much of the 'world' part once they got the 'Action Combat' part done).
And honestly, that's how it will probably stay, since as we're currently experiencing, the two concepts tend to grind against each other for lots of reasons. But hey, there's a New World out there, maybe something good will happen, if you just give Amazon an extra $5 for your totally non-gameplay affecting 'Busy RL Person Convenience Package'.
I feel like RL itself needs a few more $5 "Convenience Packages". Imagine how much faster I could get better at cooking if I could just skip some of that that 'time spent practicing or watching videos' and just level up faster outright, for $5.
Get on it, Amazon, I literally don't have all day.
