Every single XI endgame event was the same. Tank, heal and zerg. That's it. Some threw a curve ball and the Thief had to sac pull, or an army of Red Mages kept a stun rotation. But none of that took any talent. Only an attention span.

XI endgame was all about throwing bodies at a situation until victory occurred.
Your very clearly a Massive liar. Anyone who played FFXI for the first seven years it was out knows very well that every boss fight required people to do more than just stand around auto attacking. The only time a Boss fight became easy is when SE inevitably Nerfed it so small groups could win because the majority had already finished it.

As far as your throw bodies comment. Groups were capped at 18, if you wanted to use more than that you would have to do party swapping which was a far more in depth mechanic than most MMOs involve.

Unless you only started playing in 2009, everything you have argued is just a blatant lie.
