Isn't this what you want? You're posting your ideas here for things you'd like to see in MMOGs or what you want to see done right in an MMOG, and being in a position where you can't implement them yourself (not being hired to a game company as a Designer or being entrusted with an MMO), this is about as close as you can get to designing one I think. Have your ideas implemented by other people. Designing by proxy.
Of course if you want to get into the whole "credit where credit is due" arguement, that's fine.
