Index controller's individual finger tracking isn't good enough for it to be a critical game function. If I try to fold in just my middle finger (ie, to make "The shocker" gesture), it often detects my ring finger being slightly in as well.

Gestures in general just might not work well, especially using the same gesture over and over. Have you played WoW? If you're a caster, you're casting a spell every 1-3 seconds, and targeting as a healer might not work well, not to mention seeing all the health bars.

Also, I don't know how it would work for melee abilities at all.

Sure, you could do an RPG with gestures and the like for spell casting, and make melee combat interesting, but it wouldn't be WoW.

The problem is the UI. Graphical UIs in VR are very limited since motion controls are not nearly as precise as a mouse, so buttons have to be big. Cities: Skylines would certainly look cool in VR, but the actual gameplay would suffer.
