Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Vandark]

FFXI had some really good aspects to it for its time and is still running some of those could be put in with upgrades to those mechinic to fit ffxiv. The new mmo standard in my opinion is what helping to kill the mmo genre slowly.

Yeah every company is making them all the same way now, there isn't enough diversity in them. HOLLY CRAP I miss the open world in 1.0, NM's, Crafting had more purpose and so did gil, group partying instead of shitty fate system.

1.0 and FFXI had something massive in common, a sense of adventure. In FFXIV ARR I feel 0.. ZERO! sense of adventure, it bores me to death at times.

It's become what I hate more than anything in MMO's, Do your daylies, spam the same dungeons, no real need to travel anywhere, hell I don't even think you can discover new places because I had been everywhere this game has to offer me in terms of exploration in one day.. One day is all it took, not even so much as a cave to explore here and there, the world isn't even a quarter of the size of what 1.0 was and 1.0 wasn't even a quarter of the size of FFXI.

FFXIV-ARR is basically this, your a gold fish in a fish bowl and you swim around the same circle on a daily basis a few germs might be in that same path you go every day but there the same germs every day and if you gather enough fish food on a daily basis you'll get fat and strong by the end of the month.

These new game mechanics are horrible, I feel sorry for you all and I couldn't be more disappointed in SE for changing there mechanics to be structured like everyone else instead of holding there ground and being the franchise that they are.
