This isn't an MMO

[Miiu]

Pretty damm fun having barrage, sidewinder, weapon skills, skillchains, job abilities, 2hrs, etc to play with. So many fun skills compare to blandness of poison arrow, heavy shot, light shot, etc. TP system didn't allow for zerging and a delicate hate system means you have to know when to hold back and when to go for it. Much much more complex than rotations and phases. But hey it's just difference in taste. [...]
A battle system that makes players have to study rotations pftt. Probably like 90 percent of the player base has to research rotations.

Not every job in FFXI had fun abilties to play with and because you had many weaponskills didn't mean you were using all of them. You had one that was good most of the time and waited to reach a certain skillevel till you get your bread and butter ws ignoring the silly ones on the way. And what do you mean with delicate hate system? Its practically the same in this game.
