Take some pride in your effing work SE, because you DID get some things right. This happens to be one of them.

you honestly think that its the ffxi fans fault? ... i think the whiners and complainers are coming from all mmo directions,
and the aoe toggle has nothing to do with ffxi, people from aion, wow or whatfuckingever could be asking for the same?
The reason why people compare this game to ffxi is SE fault, its a bad copy of ffxi which has more flaws then i can think of.

Jobs, spells, abilities, races, even the city themes in a way are copies of ffxi. the BR system is a copy that needs a lot of love still or has to be redone, the jobsystem is not so far away from the subjob system of ffxi either... so SE is to blaim for the many comparisons to ffxi, not the ffxi fans.

Nothing was/is really new in that game. But it lacked almost everything that should be the bare mininum of almost every mmo. If this game was called wow 2 people would compare it to wow as well, every time they start typing...
