    Never been advertised as a MMO or referred to as that by the devs.
    It's a game with multiplayer options and Co op ability.

    Hasn't stopped people from claiming it is though. I foresee a lot of salt when the game launches and they realize this isn't an mmo.

    Some people will get very angry when they go into their base of operations and there's no other players, not even their own group. I can see the threads already..."Where is the big non-combat social area where we can hang out with lots of people and do silly emotes and play Duck, Duck, Goose?"...

    But agree with the thread title...The Division appears to be done right, including the DZ.

    People need to be savvy and do their homework, which they don't do and then complain about it.

    Many gaming sites should also be blamed for their misleading comments and descriptions...they race to get their review out without doing proper research and people take game sites word as truth. It blows my mind what these sites do to get clicks.

    It's not an MMO, it's not classic PvP, it's not a simple shooter. It's a complex shooter RPG...no need to manipulate the info.

    People get way caught up in the labels. It's a game, that is very similar to many other games on the market - but within one game.

    Like most developers have done for years, Massive is incorporating multiple mechanics from multiple genre of games to create a unique title that fits their vision for a fun game.

    The rest is just background noise and forum in-fighting.
