XI and XIV have it as well, it's just of a different, more subtle nature that still permeates the experience. Comes with the MMO territory, I'm afraid!

Worst MMO I ever played was Age of Conan. Nothing could fail harder than that game. Not sure if it's true or not, but I quit after a week of playing. A friend of mine, in real life, waited years for this game to come out, and apparently the servers shutdown after a few months of it's release.
Like I said not sure if it's true. If it is, then yeah nothing comes close to that fail game.
FFXIV is lacking in UI design and tutorials hope that they fix these soon.
