Let's consider this: Dota (and Dota 2) is the bastard offspring of modders who took the Warcraft 3 tools and made something completely different with them.
Ryzom Ring, like any other tool for modders, has the ability to generate ingenious things that the original developers would have never thought of, would have never approved of, or would have never cared to develop.
I'm fairly sure a lot of the English community likes the game world but dislikes the roleplay, events and other clumsy stuff reeking of French "creativity" (I'm not trying to be mean, just pointing out a cultural difference). My gut feeling is that giving them tools to carve their own world, they may actually manage to create something beautiful.
On the other hand, judging by the Ryzom Forge's mild success... I try to temperate any enthusiasm toward modding freedom.
