We've heard a lot of talk over the years about game behaviors players came up with that the devs did not anticipate. I'll list them non-exhaustively for context.
  • Kiting
  • Feign Death pulling
  • Raiding
  • Camping named placeholders for loot

Feel free to add to this list but stick to the main point, which follows:

What player behaviors did the designers expect and extract all the gelt they could from by way of subscriptions?
I can buy most of these, especially camping, the original devs probably were surprised by the popularity of the game and the willingness of players to stay logged on for days/weeks at a time (or account share, whatever). But raiding? I mean, what would be the point of guilds if not to get 50-100+ players on at the same time in order to zerg red cons?
