Boss fights. I'm sure this idea isn't original, but my friends and I always had the idea that for someone mostly interested in raiding and dungeons, you could cut out just about every other part of the MMO.
But keep classes, keep gear, and focus the game on going through tightly designed dungeons with fun mechanics. Can also have various sizes from 2, 4, 6, 8 or however many people. Add challenges, time trials, medals, modifiers.
There are games like this but none of them I know of function like an MMO with tab targeting, ability bars, etc like in WoW. Stuff like Left 4 Dead or Vermintide but with more unique boss fights.
Unfortunately, full MMOs are very expensive, time consuming, and risky to make to where even many AAA developers won't attempt it, let alone Indies.
Rabbit & Steel isn't as complex as an MMO button-wise but it might fit the bill
