I think just about everyone coming from the likes of FFXI are going to feel somewhat the same with the exception of FFXI's ultra casuals. It's sad and I totally agree but I think it's pretty pointless to even present these kinds of concerns, FFXIV is just not made for those of us who got to experience horizontal MMOs at their beginning. It's made to appeal more to the newer generation that have been spoon fed things like DLC costumes and cosmetic alterations for years. I think our best hope unfortunately is going to come from Korea with Blade and Soul and Black Desert on the horizon. We can have hopes for EQ Next and a few others but those are likely quite far off.
