What Is The Future Of MMORPG's?

I started thinking the other day after the announcement of Wrath of Heroes.  Is the genre evolving right before our eyes?  Are MMORPG's going to turn into a no leveling grind?  Are they going to change more to a Co-Op style?  Can you have a successful MMORPG that is a MOBA/DOTA style game?  Could they be merging into a new genre of gaming?

The Wrath of Heroes is pvp based arena with three factions, or sides.  The question is can a game company convert a moba/dota to a PvE type game?  How would it work?  Would players actually like the idea?

My idea is make dungeons, and raids like a moba/dota.  I guess maybe something like Gauntlet the retro arcade game. You could make it less about gear, and more about advancing levels, and unlocking more dungeons.

I think it would be nice to just be able to raid bosses, and skip all the stupid stuff.  They could make the fights really long, and epic.  I have never been a raider type, but if I could hop in at any time, and kill bosses without worrying about gearscore it would be great.

What do you think?
