FF11 was just a good example of what to NOT do. It had more flaws than any other MMO available at the same time.

I know some masochists enjoyed the 100 people fighting for claim of Despot, or 100 people fighting for claim of Fafnir, or standing 6 hours in various zones to be first to claim sandworm. But a lot of us prefer PLAYING games, and not sit there and roll our thumbs. I probably had at least 3 years game time logged on FFXI, and 2 years was just sitting waiting.
