actually anything with a progression and xp based system is considered RPG or atleast RPG elements if something that has a progression system but has very little in the way of progression except from the chance to get a shield that has 2 more hp and a gun that does 4-7 more max damage that you lose most of the extra damage due to % scaling of enemies defenses and a skill point for a very situation skill even with that little to no advancement still makes it RPG so it's be nice to actually feel like you were getting a bit better especially by 10 *levels* higher than something.
His spelling is killing me here but i get his meaning and i agree to an extent also.

You fail to see the point. While MMO as a whole include MMORPG as a subgenre, not being a MMORPG doesn't make Defiance "not a MMO". Defiance was never advertised as a MMORPG. Defiance is indeed a MMO(TPS)

I hope the op is trolling.

Yeeees but this game includes a progression based gameplay which makes it atleast an mmo WITH RPG ELEMENTS so that kinda makes it an MMO-TPS-RPG does it not?

So let me get this straight, if a game has progression based gameplay it makes it an RPG? As I understand most games that have an online side have this implemented in one way or another.
All the bits I saw about this game before launch had it as a third person shooter that was an mmo ( which I always thought stood for massive multiplayer online nothing to do with RPG correct me if I'm wrong) which was the reason I bought it and though it does have its bugs and issues I have enjoyed for what it is.
The problem I think is that a lot of people who see the letters mmo immediately think of RPGs and didn't really look into the rest of it and so get disappointed that that is not what they have got but instead find themselves playing what is basically a shooter game

To extend on this a little bit;
Call of Duty has progression based game play, does that make it part of the RPG family as well?
