[[ Why do we miss the old FFXI community ]] What made it special ??

[Aegis]

still retains a lot of the great things about oldschool MMOs that made them great

I must confess I don't see any oldschool elements in XIV ARR (except for quest grinding which is older than mob grinding).

When I think old-school I think open world dungeons, open world grinding, roles more diverse than tank/DPS/healer (think dedicated buffer, debuffer, crowd controller, soloists), competition for resources, PK'ing, craft-led economies etc
