I dont know how old you are, granted some people above the age of 50 may not like gameplay oriented games anymore. but I am 33 years old and raided in savage raids with a woman old enough to be my mother. its far from universal.
If these people would say they simply dont like having gameplay, and play for other reasons, that'd be very different, but I'm seeing peoples rabid attacks on anyone who claims COH is not good at gameplay and combat- when it has one of the worst combat systems in an MMO I've ever seen.
And that is FINE, since COH is good for OTHER REASONS. no one is asking to make it like FFXIV- we cant, it wont work, engine too old and so forth.
