The thread is still up, you could try actually reading it and making a relevant post! ^^;

If you have read OP carefully and if you know XI well, you would know what I was saying was relevant.

Nah, the op simply stated that it was great that XI had plenty to do, not that they wanted to play XI.

They then made the point that XIV's gear ladder is a poor design choice, not just compared to XI but to the point that it may very well prevent them re-subbing to the game (something SE desperately needs their players to do to keep this game running), many others have come in and given reasons as to why this is the case.

To simply say "Well XI is there you can go play that!" is completely irrelevant to the very real issues people are bringing up when it concerns the ladder form of vertical gear progression, and contrary to popular belief there are more MMOs out there than just XI that have come up with alternate ways of dealing with the problem.

It's like back in 1.0 when people suggested adding jumping like in WoW to the game and the response was "Well go play WoW if you want jumping", i guess it's a good thing the devs didn't take those comments to heart eh?

Wanting the game to take inspiration from the systems that worked in other games is not the same as wanting to play those other games, but rather wanting the game to adapt these ideas and grow instead of becoming stale and stagnant. But i shouldn't have to make this point, as you would realize this if you had actually read the thread ^^;
