They had it in already but they turned it off together with player collision detection, which is bs. They should have left both collision detection types intact and improve the AI a bit maybe. Nothing spectacular, just a few more rules to try to bypass the player blocking the way.

Collision detection allows for better battle strategy, i.e. tanks stopping the mobs from getting to the magi. Having it in partially but then removing it because players complain about bumping into each other is just stupid - one doesn't complain about bumping into people/objects in real life, does one?

And if we continue to remove collision detection, why not remove it completely and just allow to run through everything? Oh wait, that's already possible in Limsa...
