XIV as said, is an unoptimized rush job, design wise they decided to go against XI instead of build off of XI which was the main problem. It didn't have to be a clone, but every MMO out today builds off of some kind of base.
I think you missed my point. I was talking about the engine, lacking many features. Not XIV or any other game on CT.
