Much like Morroian implied, if game is mostly designed with over-the-shoulder balloon camera in mind, 1st person is inevitably much worse and less competitive option in any and all ways. You don't want to do anything with it, you inevitably have harder time seeing enemies and suches. In this environment, 1st person is mostly about taking screenshots and enjoying atmospherics.
It'd be awesome to have an MMO where 1st person view is an actual game element. It'd enable better use of terrain for cover and so forth. Imagine environment where, for once stealth means you literally sneak behind someone using LOS, terrain and suches rather than some infinitely lame "turn invisible!" gimp talent. Seeing less could be more. In 3rd person, you always see everything. Specially if you play a ranged class. It's just too easy and fast to pan camera wildly about both axis.
