Enough

this is a wow clone.

Wow. You're totally right! You said it so it must be true. It's okay. I'll believe you even without supporting evidence and just your 5 words you posted. You changed my mind. You should teach debate it seems like you have a real knack at it.

Or, you know, if you're that raw about it, you can just leave. It's not like you have a pre-nup with FFXIV or anything. It'll be rough in the beginning without your stellar personality, but I think we can manage.

Or, you can do what logical people do:

1.) List what you think is wrong in as much detail as possible (providing examples and describing each issue while remaining unbiased and offering facts and data, not complaints)
2.) For every one issue you think needs to be addressed, list 2 solutions or workarounds (including examples)

This is called feedback. Your post is the exact reason why Square doesn't post in threads and doesn't take the forums seriously.

WHINING

See what I did there? You can complain, you're halfway there. Now offer solutions or you're posts will be nothing but more whining.

#1. gearscore its all about the numbers.

All? Hardly. I dare you to have a full i90 average party to oneshot pharos sirius JUST by facemelting the primary target. I'll wait.

#2. grinding dungeon for tokens & gear.

First, tokens only apply to dungeons over lv 40. Why then, do people keep doing guildhests (all sub 40) after they are 50 all classes?

#3. crafting is 99% useless.

Well, if done properly, it is very profitable. You must be doing it wrong.

#4. never have to move from one spot ever to do content. just queue and wait.

Seeing that you have at least 3 relic weapons, your candor seems lacking. You ought to know for a fact this is untrue.

#5. world is for show, no one needs it.

Say what? This statement doesn't even make sense.

#6. same mechanics in a fight.

in one fight? OK. in all of them? You MUST be joking.

#7 casual game made for all, means easy mode.

Seeing that you don't even seem have one class averaging over i80, how likely is it that you are caught up on content?

#8 eveything is instanced.

Eastern shroud is an instance with Beastmen dailies. South Shroud as an instance with Odin on occasion, just like other Shroud instances. Ya got me there.

1 out of 8 ain't bad.

So i hear WOW is planning to add level sync soon! Wonder where they got that idea?

gearscore its all about the numbers

Vertical gear progression has been around forever, where have you been if you think WoW is the only, or even first one?

grinding dungeon for tokens & gear

Tokens, I guess I can agree with you on that, I've never encountered a system that used this method prior to WoW. But as for dungeons: Do you really think grinding dungeons for gear is a thing WoW made? Are you serious? This method is staple to MMO's and video games in general.

crafting is 99% useless.

Crafting served a purpose in WoW, and still can. Have you even played it?

never have to move from one spot ever to do content. just queue and wait

There is quite a bit of content that exists outside of the queue screen. It's your decision to actually go out and do it. Hell, WoW has a slew of lore in it's quests. Ever hear of reading and immersion?

world is for show, no one needs it.

See above.

same mechanics in a fight.

This doesn't even make sense. What are you trying to get at?

casual game made for all, means easy mode.

Having elements, or activities in the game that support play for casual minded gamers does not automatically qualify the game as being easy. There are aspects to both WoW and FFXIV that are challenging to all levels of play.

eveything is instanced.

In terms of dungeons? Yeah, you're right. But that's been around much longer than WoW.
