Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

[AnaviAnael]

Sure, if we were debating all the pros and cons of the old XI, I can see why that may come up - but why on earth would we be trying to adapt some of the negative features the game had?

I'm not quite sure why, but it seems like people are unable to accept the fact that XIV can be improved upon, and heaven help you if you mention XI. If it makes people feel better, I'd love if they implemented some things from GW2 and AA too! Build myself the perfect MMO! lol.

In a lot of the FFXI threads I see on here, people ask for a lot of things like Hakutaku and world spawns that take 24-72 hours to spawn. The reason why it gets brought up in threads like this is because some people are asking for that stuff. This is bringing back memories of farming those stupid eyes only to have the synth blow up lmao.

Do I think XIV can be improved upon. Sure do! Do I think taking inspirations from XI is a good idea? Why not as long as it was fun.

I have never ever seen that omg lol. I only seen people ask for interesting stats and force pop NM's, maybe something like Dynamis I've seen as well.. basically the positives from XI. Although I don't read -every- post..but lmao who would want that junk in here...that stuff was pretty bad. I would never revolve my IRL around a game for some 72 hour spawns hahaha

Yeah, one dude was all like "my buddies talked about how much fun they had camping these NMs" and others were agreeing. I'm just thinking, "ARE YOU NUTS?"

Remember holding an HNM for twelve hours at a time, simply to move its respawn into your preferred time zone? Those were the days. XD

Also: 17 pages. Not bad for such an obvious troll post.

WoW or FFXI? How about neither? I loved FFXI... but this is not FFXI. Or WoW.
