Games aren't made for you to be able to multi-task the main part of the game in the first place. Because grinding is so simple, we have bots. Because grinding is unbearable generally, we have gold-farmers and gold-buyers.
If people consider MMORPGs as grinding, the MMORPG genre fails miserably. And you know what? That's exactly my current opinion.

Agreed, but that would cost an insane amount of money. Much more than any game that has previously been developed.

FFXI already kinda went the right way without having cost an insane amount of money. I mean, all we gamers need is atmosphere and cool characters. Give us Sephiroth, Cloud, Vincent, Yuffie and Cid or whatever in a MMO, build up a gigantic-like feeling story with alot of side plots and different kinds of instances/PvP options.
I can't play a game (regardless of it being a MMO) just for the grind (as a rational thinking human and gamer, not just as myself). Grinding is a waste (how could anyone argue against that? it's a friggin fact) and pretty much every MMORPG doesn't offer much more than that (while WoW is rather the unnecessary item-collecting type).
