That's why in WoW you always leave one hand on the mouse at all times. In fact, most PC games have you keeping one hand on the keyboard and one hand on the mouse. FFXI is really an oddity in that department.

That is true, but only because FFXI's mouse controls are so bad. If FFXI's mouse controls were better, I don't think they would get in the way at all.
