Seriously... why are action RPGs and Regular RPGS and Strategy RPGS lumped together on this site?

Action RPGS have more in common with Zelda games then they do "normal" RPGs.

It's the stats and number crunching that groups them together, as they all have roots in tabletop games, while Zelda has roots in playing around in backyards.

World of Warcraft's roots are a bunch of Real Time Strategy games. World of Warcraft is still an MMORPG not a Real Time Strategy game.

Games should be grouped by their gameplay.

The stats are at the root of the gameplay. That's the common element that links the RPG subgenres. And the gameplay of WoW makes it an RPG, not the gameplay of the rest of the franchise.
