What's your MMO fear?

We all have fears in the game. They range from things that squick us despite our best efforts (such as giant spiders) to more personal worries (such as crippling anxiety that you're not the best tank). But some fears are even more primal than that. Some fears get straight to the heart about where the industry is headed, what the fate of your favorite game might be, or whether or not you'll have time for MMOs in the future. And while you can kill squick-worthy enemies, you can't kill anxiety.

So what scares you about MMOs, either in general or in specific cases? Are you worried that your favorite game has passed the peak in terms of popularity or quality of content? Afraid that free-to-play games are going to become the dominant force in the market when you don't like them? Or do you have a deep-seated terror that World of Warcraft will always dominate the MMO sphere and block games you find more interesting?

Personally I fear that F2P will become the dominant market. I want to pay for a game and that's it. I don't want mushy grinders taunting me with adverts to buy more content.

I also hope that WoW doesn't dominate, but the mainstream of everything always sucks to the quality of the underground. With the mainstream, there is no creative genious working behind the scenes.
