That's ok this is a LIVE SERVICE GAME. Definitely not the same as an MMO. Definitely.

Also I bought that Brutosaur and a friggin love it. Best QOL feature in the game. I don't even play WoW more than a few times a month.

I now have all services in the game mobile in some way or another: bank, transmog, mail and auction

What makes a MMO different from a live service? Both have characters, levels, character progression exp based on killing enemies and doing X actions/quests, and have new content added as time goes on.

From how I see it, it's just a different name to just avoid being called a MMO.

Yeah. That was my point.

At this point, I'd say an MMO is focused more on the social side, I guess. MMO is a subset of Live Service for sure, but it's distinct from the usual games in that category.

Plus more players able to be in one place. Just earlier I joined a FFXIV hunt train, with 150 players whizzing about taking down bosses for currency. Don't really get that in a bog standard Live Service game.

An MMO has a world filled with players, while the likes of Destiny typically just have a hub or menu to get to the gameplay bits.
