The fact FFXI is easier than WoW proves they're pretty much aware of how player's like easy progression for example.

That is nice and all, but inviting or booting from the Linkshell from anywhere isn't going to make your game a clone. They can deviate all they want from the norm as far as game content goes, but a crappy non-intuitive UI and silly decisions like the topic at hand is not what is necessary to avoid being a clone.
