More than anything, I'd enjoy an MMO that has been implemented to prevent it from becoming a business.
Make it so that everything put into the game has value and cannot be "pick and choose"'d down to the most efficient path. You could choose to explore areas at your own pace, and while actions you take would have an effect on the world; reactions within the world would not eliminate overlooked prior exploration opportunities.
PVP would not be in my ideal game.
I simply wish to experience that short time early on in a game's lifespan where players are equally immersed and willing to share and inform others. If they can't use something, handing it over to a passerby who can rather than hoarding it for resale. I'm not sure what kind of system could be developed to foster this behavior, but it is my greatest regret as I go back to older games to find their early towns overrun by merchants.
If they could manage that, I'd take almost any genre that doesn't naturally require PVP.
