If this next group of MMORPG's are not good, I am DONE!

Year in and year out we are promised this and that from this Developers. And year and and year out they release absolute lack luster games our way. I first was snagged into this genre by Earth and Beyond, and while I know that was a pretty crappy game, it still was my first MMO and I fell in love. That love affair lasted to about 2009 (with various MMO's) and since then it just seems like MMO developers are releasing games that are even worse then before.
So I have said to myself, if this next group of MMO's (ESO, Final Fantasy, Wildstar or EQ2) fail to give me what I want or rather need in a game. It might, no it will, be time to go back to Consoles....
Has anyone else ever felt like this?

You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.

I have felt like this.
But honestly, i'll keep coming back and playing them. I always have at least.
Because MMORPGs are the only genre of PC games?
Ok and wtf has consoles got to do with anything? You act like everyone who plays MMORPG's has come from consoles and so if not playing MMORPG we will go and play on a shitty console? what? I will play a NON MMORPG on a PC thanks.
Where is the "What the hell are you talking about!?" vote option?
If you don't want to get let down here are my easy tips:
Don't pre-order, don't buy anything in a cash shop until the game has launched, use kickstarter at your peril. Wait until a MMO launches, read the reviews not the previews. Then make your decision, I have never been really unhappy with a MMO I have played but then I always wait for the reviews.
Simples.
I am afraid that is what I will eventually do...
But who know's, when I say I am done with something I generally stick to it.. For the most part.

This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
So you will flee back to consoles, eh ?
You realise that almost all the upcoming AAA MMO's are going to be on console too ?
There is no escape !
Muhahahahahaaa !
Same here, Consoles suck !.....I'm about fed up with mmos too, lets see what ff14 and Wildstar have. I may give up too.
Nothing could ever drive me to play my games on consoles. Even if there were no MMORPGs I would still play my single player games on PC.
Also, I think you mean EQ Next instead of EQ2..........

"Will you be going back to Consoles if this next round of AAA MMO's fail to deliver?"
I am already playing console games. Games like Deus Ex:HE and Dishonored are much better than most MMOs. I do play some MMOs like STO because there is no other choice for Star Trek RPG.
So i am not "done" with MMOs nor i will go "back" to consoles, because i am already there.
Never going back to consuls and have not owned one since the PS1 and N64 in the late 90s.
There are already some good Niche MMOs out there. People don't like niche MMOs and say they are failures because a million other people don't play them. Yes, the industry is in a dark age right now but people should find ways to make their own fun.
I understand that this is your opinion, but if you are an MMO Fan then suck it up. There are always going to be bad games and hopefully we've gotten the all out of the Genre for awhile.
Saying you aren't going to play MMOs if the next one is bad is like saying you wont drive if your next car is a LEMON
Lets see your Battle Stations /r/battlestations
Battle Station
Yeah. I tried Eve and it was a big disappointment. I would much rather play console games like Dishonored (which is a lot more fun than most MMOs i have played).
I think its less that games are getting worst, its more that we have so many games available to us and we have become far more stingy. We are VERY spoiled now, which tends to give games little chance, even IF it is a good game in its own right. Rather then looking for the next game to impress, I think its best to look at what originally caught you into your first MMo and really think of what you want. Rather then judging harshly, why not just see if a game has what you want and if its leaning in the direction you want it to go and just stick with it and support it?
I agree.. but I dont think we'll see "the perfect" MMO anytime near.. we're in a period now where you play games "for free" and where the companies get money from other stuff inside the game, making the games much more simple and boring, making the games only last a few levels.
I too hope the next big MMOs will give me satisfaction, but sadly I think I already know they most probably wont.
Why should i do that?
You said it yourself. We have so many games available to use. It is more fun hopping from one to another. I don't play games to support them, i play them for fun.
Favorite MMO: Vanilla WoW
Currently playing: GW2, EVE
Excited for: Wildstar, maybe?
The success or failure of MMORPGs isn't a life changing matter for me.I'd like to find one I really like and don't get sick within the first year of release,that hasn't happened for awhile now,but it's not a critical part of my life or world.I'm a gamer and there are tons of good games in different genres and platforms I can choose to play,there are also a lot of fun non gaming activities to engage in with my free time.
I got no need to indulge in such absolutes and melodramatics.
