Here's a crazy idea, lets stop listening people that want to turn back the clock on MMO design. XIV and XI are drastically different games, one of them is a themepark and one of them is an early style MMO. They don't mesh. Trying to make them mesh is just going to frustrate the hell out of the people who play this because of the themepark. If some game dev ran up to me and said "HEY I HAVE A WILD IDEA, LETS TURN WOW INTO EVERQUEST" I'd treat them like they had just run up to me and attempted to communicate in a series of hoots clicks and whistles.
