    You seem to be forgetting that a majority of the FFXIV community thought that sleeping Conflags on Twintania was an intended mechanic.

    Honestly, the average skill level of players on FFXIV is extremely low compared to other MMOs (particularly World of Warcraft). I don't know why this is, but as a result, they're going to lobby around any sort of exploit that makes encounters manageable for their lack of skills/reaction speed.

    Not true in the slightest. WoW has plenty of bad players and they have their fair share of people who'll exploit anything they can find.

    The difference is that they have 12 million people (or they did, I know know anymore) compared to our 600 thousand people. If, maybe, 1% of players from each game were good players we would have 6 thousand good players and WoW would have 120 thousand good players. You're obviously going to see more good players in WoW than you would in FFXIV simply because they have more players.

    The majority of exploit abusers are just impatient people who can't be bothered taking 20 minutes to do a dungeon, so abuse exploits so it takes 15 minutes instead. The MMO space is an extremely competitive one. We race to get the best gear and highest levels in order to not fall behind, it just so happens that the majority of MMO players grew up believing you couldn't complete GTA without the Health cheat, so they're too accustomed to cheating to get what they want.

    Not to mention WoW's combat is so simple in comparison to FFXIV. You just stand there doing nothing with little space for error the majority of the time compared to something like Titan.

    Here's a link to a bunch of rotation and DPS numbers I wrote up to try help BLM see they aren't as weak as they might think.

    XD Lol, now I have read it all... I can tell you that the skilllevel on FFXIV players are NOT lower than WoW players. Not in any way. As far as I remember the instances in that game is balanced so that a party of 1/3rd should be able to beat it nowadays because most people are just N.U.B.s. If by any reason WoW players not do exploids like this it is solely because they lack the imagination/inteligence needed to even think outside the box.
