I don't think people wanted FFXI-2, they wanted SE to step up and make a game that was unique to its own! 1.0 was really bad due to the BUGS that it shipped with.

FFXIV 2.0 isn't bad but, it really disappointed me not in dungeon content but rather overall content! (Not a dungeon runner)
I have a really hard time believing it because millions of players have spent money for hardware to run WoW. I actually get better FPS on my rig in this game than I do in WoW. For 25 man raiding, in particular, you really need a strong PC. I'd also like to point out that this is what, month 4 of this game? We got some content out of order (Coils coming out before CT) and they're gradually working on increasing dungeon content and adding in things like Treasure Maps and Dailies (both of which have been a lot of fun - if not the most fun - I've had with this patch). Things are going to get better, but it's also going to take some time.
