Playing an MMO with a controller

[Miste]

Says another person who doesn't step into coil.

In any instance a MMO dedicated mouse is better than your controller because you simply does not need to scroll through stuffs with your controller. The mouse instantly makes 24 slots on 2 crossbars instantly accessible. That's an undeniable fact. However this does not say that it is not playable with the controller, but it is just more tedious. There are only a handful of players who are on PS4 that can play top contents at an competitive level, throw them a KB and a MMO mouse and I'm sure they can do far better.

This is just your opinion, not fact, therefore just because you are unable to use a controller to the same level as KB/M does not mean others cannot. Just because you find using a controller tedious does not mean others do also.

How to make it fact? You'd have to do a comprehensive study based on FFXIV and with a large sample size of players and compare KB/M and controller users of the same skill levels.

In my opinion it wouldn't matter though, the global cool down in this game makes ample time for either KB/M or controller to play effectively and the real cap of efficient use of the device is the user not the device itself.

Pretty sure I have seen a world first video with a controller user recording it, don't remember which one though, if I remember I'll post it.
