If your ls has great players and can kill monsters that are UBER hard you get those spoils of battle.. in short stfu with the wow this wow that Final fantasy used to pride themselves in being Different and great Story lines .
For the record, part of FFXI's success was because they copied the most successful MMO at the time (EverQuest.) Nothing they've ever really done has been all that original (FFXI was based off EQ, FF Tactics was based on Tactic Ogre, the original FF was based on DQ.) They just manage to take what others have done and repackage it in an appealing way. If FFXIV had taken some pages from WoW, it would be in much better shape than it is now. Do I want a WoW clone? No. But it's ignoring WoW and even S-E's own past successes that made FFXIV turn out the way it did (critically panned).
