I think you're generalizing far too much, Aeran. There are going to be quality MUDs and quality MMOs. And then there are terrible MUDs as well as terrible MMOs. Just because the MMO has a professional staff being paid doesn't mean it'll be quality.

Take for example (note I'm not bashing it, I actually play it). You don't even have to play the game to see the "quality" of the game. Go to the forums. You'll see that any post with a quote in it used to "break" the forums. Now they make the quotes escape, except... the slash character still shows up in actual posts. This is even something I could fix. Then you get into the game. Most quests are simply randomly generated. The text bubbles wrap at any character (and not spaces).

I could go on... but you get my point.
