Well i can't talk much about other mmos such as rift since i only have 3 mmo's experiences, FFXI and FFXIV and ragnarok online, never played anything else. and i'm not gonna be comparing other games battle systems... i'm just gonna talk about my personal experience. FFXI battle system was fun and FFXIV is boring, skill spam says it all and no strategy so far besides the old "hit and heal till it falls" didn't matter what mob i fought so far. Anyway it's just my opinion, maybe it's fun for you i don't care really...
