I judge mmo by sound effect of melee combat. Dont have to be Skill Visual Effect but regular, normal plain attack. The sound effect of combat must be good and that I can feel it.. If not , i usually bail out like in WorldOfWarcraft.
Hard Sound Effect that I can feel it:
Tekken / SoulCalibur / NinjaGaiden / DevilMayCry / Omimusha / BeowulfTheGame / PrinceOfPersiaPS3 / Diablo3 / LordOfTheRingsConquest / PhantasyStarUniverse / ShinMegamiTenseiOnline / Mabinogi / Lineage2 / Requiem / BladeAndSoul / Aion / ReignOfRevolution / SoulOfTheUltimateNation / PristonTale2 / Ragnarok2
Weak Sound Effect that I cant feel it:
WorldOfWarcraft / WarhammerOnline / LordOfTheRingsOnline / Vanguard / Everquest2 / ChroniclesOfSpellborn / Darkfall
I notice that most Western MMO in the weak sound effect list.
PrinceOfPersia 123 ps2/xbox had weak sound effect of blade attack and cant feel it but then their next gen PrinceOfPersia change it all! it now have hard sound and can feel it just like SoulCalibur and i saw the interview video they said it themselves that SoulCalibur inspire them. two thumb up!
Now what about western MMO titles? dont they want to improve it? westerns console title like PrinceOfPersia can.. why cant western mmo title?
I dont usually play MMO that have Slow Melee Attack interval for auto-attack like:
WorldOfWarcraft / WarhammerOnline / LordOfTheRingsOnline / Vanguard / Everquest2 / RunesOfMagic / Shaiya / Requiem / Aion / 4Story
I only play MMO that have Fast Realistic Attack interval for auto-attack like:
Lineage2 / Guild Wars / Q-World / ScionsOfFate / Fiesta / FlyFF / Ragnorak2 / AsdaStory / Holic / Archlord / RFonline / Rappelz / Silkroad / PristonTale2 / ReignOfRevolution
Overall If it dont have good Sound Effect of Melee Attack Impact , I dont play. If it dont have Fast Realistic Attack interval auto-attack then I dont play.

How dare you present him with logic! Don't you understand? He fights epic fights, in epic games, with epic toons....eats epic food and takes epic dumps! He has more e..pic..icity...ness in his little finger than you have in your whole unepic body! - ChicagoCub
With a Fast Realistic auto-attack ! Duh!

Everyone has specific likes and dislikes when it comes to food, mates, clothes, and everything else. You may be in the minority for people who care about sound effects above other things, but everyone is different. So to answer your question people like you are called normal.
The reason western MMOs concentrate more on graphics rather than sound is possibly because the regularity of television and the internet. This book found HERE touches on it more, but if you do a google on "visual, auditory and kinesthetic percentage" you will see visual learning/enjoyment is always outweighs auditory.
P.S. That wasn't very nice of you other posters.

A work in progress: (Update: 08/09/10)Easily find your favorite type of MMO
thing is, I figured the guy was either 10, or messing with us/ trolling. Look at his "real name" in his profile "hehe hoho " If that' doesn't say class clown, I don't know what does.
Sound does play an important roles in games, a role often unnoticed unless its really horrible
as far as sound goes I think my most noteworthy memory is EQ1 wizard spells... man that boom made it sound like you were doing some seriously powerful shit!
I thought it was actally a really big improvement.... too bad the rest of the game was so lame =( (not including endgame.. I never experienced it)
