Quit trying to turn FFXIV into Wow, peeps

[KaivaC]

Like, seriously. Quit. The WoW forums hate when somebody brings in a comparison from FFXIV, SWTOR, GW2, and Wildstar, so what makes you guys think we want to hear about it here in the form of a complaint. In layman’s terms, ‘WoW did this and I think it was great, so FFXIV should do this too’.

Isn’t that why most, if not all, WoW clones failed? Because they were trying to be like WoW? Quit it. Sure, I don’t mind the occasional comparison, like say, comparing WoW boss fights to FFXIV boss fights, because that is genuinely something I am actually interested in. But stuff like, FATEs need to be more like WoW’s world quests, or we need a loot system just like WoW…just…no.

I don’t want a WoW clone. I want a unique FF experience. Maybe when you’re thinking about suggestions, how about you come up with something that will actually work. I saw somebody mention that the Squadron Missions should have a system like FFXII’s Gambit System. I personally think FATEs should start including tomestone rewards.

Quit trying to turn this into WoW. What WoW is doing made them successful…it’s not gonna make FFXIV successful…in fact, it’s probably gonna piss off some players.

I thought we were already WoW. Warriors of Wight.

The biggest reason I noticed when I played WoW was because often times those other games did do something better and the community will never admit to that.

I do agree we should stop comparing them though; this is a very different style of MMO from the others as they are from one another.

I understand there are good points that can be taken from other games and WOW could be one of them... but one of the complains I seen lately like launcher and token are just .....



one of my FC member plays both FF14 and WOW actively raiding in both... the only thing I heard him mentioned is the UI coding and flexibility in WOW is "light years ahead" iirc. and as someone who played WOW, I have to agree...

but FF14 looks more beautiful anyway.. so forget WOW.

The only thing I would like to see change in FFXIV (besides housing) that WoW is doing good, so I heard, is that I want some areas to be dangerous when walking around even when you hit level 70.

they never were tbh. there are easy work around last i played this was around wrath into cata. gotta think of the gatherers. do you really want them to be on permanent stealth? ya try getting to an unsoiled node only to be 1 shot, it isn't funny.

bad enough lvl 50 hunt mobs prowl around lvl 10 leveling areas and no one helps kill them.

You heard wrong. There is literally nothing in the open world in WoW that can't be 2-shot. 3 shot at most, not counting world bosses. Mobs here actually take some effort in comparison.

Really? That hasn't been my experiemce at all with Legion (most notably Argus, where you can't just fly over everything and skip it). I actually find doing my Army of Light WQs to be a bit onerous because of how beefy the mobs are.
