Homogenization and Job Identity - Are they mutually exclusive?

[Yorumi]

But you can't do that with a MMO model that is inherently tied to fundamental mmo mechanics which now makes the system 13 years old which at the time of wows emergence was only the standard due to technical limitations and NOT lack of innovation.

The age of a system has nothing to do with it's value. There are things we love in video games that are approaching 40 years old. Innovation is not automatically good, often times it ends up terrible or worse off. The core mechanics of ff14 arn't what are hurting it's jobs, it's a lack of creativity in implementing those jobs that is.
