If this game wants to be a big hitter and go down the mmo route it will need to diversify and adapt through its life.
It needs to listen to users like the op.
It can not remain blinkered as some people want it to be and stand alone in a sea of other games.
Forums are a great place to add ones oppinion and thoughts.
Why people troll these forums to look cool by making fun of others is exactly what this game dosent need.
The op made a vald point, a point I bet the devs will look at in the months to come.
This is not WoW. This is Defiance a game in its first days of infancy, but believe me, if it dosent take note of its much bigger brothers in the mmo world ,the tried and tested sucsessors it will not go far.
It has to have unique qualities for it to be fresh and hold people. But it does need to be familiar enough for us to feel safe.
Just to end this I will make this point.
If Defiance is around 8 years from now with a playerbase of 10 million without an AH or bank then I will be very very surprised.
