What is so bad about FFXI?

[Jennestia]

We get it. You hate FFXIV and run a fansite for it (ironically)..

That's funny, where did I say I hated FFXIV? Then again, I guess you actually like the fact XIV lacked basic systems of any MMORPG? Like a working party search system?

Which is also funny, a lot more people proved with their flatout refusal to play and even leaving the game pretty quickly they didn't enjoy the fact XIV lacked even basic features found in a previous MMORPG that Square made.

That's the problem here, if in FFXI and FMO there were basic systems present, why did XIV forgo it? You do realize Square admitted it was a mistake in it's original direction with the game, right? Why do you think they're overhauling the game?

Surely not because people enjoyed every single aspect about the game.

it's a path which won't lead them to success. Going back the the required class and rank thing, for example

Rift is pretty successful, it also has restrictions with certain aspects. So like you say:

We get it

You hate the system, that's fine.
