That's what made me stop playing most MP games in general.

Meta this, meta that, find the most efficient ways to do things and stick to that.

Even first person shooters are going that way...

I like my sense of wonder and adventure in video games and that's gone from most multiplayer now.

It's essentially an inevitability with competitive multiplayer games. If the goal is to "win", then the most efficient method of achieving that will be found and dominate the scene. For MMORPG's like WoW, that really sucks when the whole point of the game was to explore, quest, collect gear, and build your character however you wanted.
