Depends on what you play it for - I wouldn't be so quick as to write it off, especially for new players. Its easy to forget that features etc we have grown so accustomed to seeing every day can still have some appeal to people just starting out in the game.
I switched to SWG, which I was using as my "secondary" MMO, however now mxo is my secondary game, I play it simply to fill the RP void that isn't filled by SWG, and for those purposes it works well.
