Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[JMadFour]

so I don't have a dog in this fight, having not played FFXI, but i have to wonder why people here aren't simply playing FF XI if XIV is nothing more than a crappy cheap WoW clone and XI is heads and shoulders above it in quality and playstyle.

why bother insisting on changing XIV into something it wasn't designed to be? just play what was enjoyable, and don't play what isn't. if more people did that rather than complaining on a forum while still playing the vastly unenjoyable WoW clone, we wouldn't have so many WoW clones out there.

why not, instead of saying "Make XIV like XI is", just go play XI..?

it's like PVPers going to a 100% PVE game and screaming "OPEN PVP FFA NAO!" instead of going to play Open PVP FFA games.
