Should have made FFXI-2 instead of this game IMO

[Raskbuck]

My impression of FFXIV is that it took things to an extreme. "I want everything NOW." kind of mentality.

The game hands you everything on a silver platter.
Want to get somewhere? Teleport everywhere, whenever you want!
Walking is too slow? Sprint makes you run at the same speed of a mount at level 1!
Need gear? Dungeons drop the equivalent of HQ Melded gear for free!
Classes are too hard? Don't worry! We have simplified combat in favor of a more casual-friendly approach.
Exploring high level areas is too dangerous? You can safely escape monsters even if they are 30 levels higher than you!

*sigh* Now don't get me wrong, I love the game and I will keep playing it. It just feels too... "floaty" for me. Dying is a joke, you don't have to work for your pre-endgame equipment, people already have relics within the first month... I feel it took things to an extreme.
