If the whole OP is just a hypothesis ... then who cares? I mean, even if your hypothesis is true and it's why the game is dying .. OK. Not like you can do anything about it. This hypothetical discussion is rather worthless in a practical sense for this game.
The premise is a hard sell frankly ... convenience kills games? Right ... try playing Age of Conan without a mount. You quit the first day when you take 20 minutes to run across a map. I don't think the OP has thought very hard about the practical implications of his theories that he keeps trying to push in all his threads.
