That was the part of his statement I really agreed with. How can you make an MMO while ignoring the most commercially successful MMO of all time? You have to start from WoW and improve its flaws of accessibility, of grinding, of social engagement and so on. WoW, but better, is exactly what people bored of WoW right now would be looking for.
The mistake other devs make is they make WoW+gimmick, where the gimmick is some epic hyped design bulletpoint that is fun for the first week of play and then gets old and people go back to WoW. Long-term fixes of WoW's flaws are the way to avoid that.
