You want to compare FPS to MMORPG and exspect to be taken seriosly?

Grow up kid, all new games use things from the past. Its what we are used to and it wont be something that changes the game completely around.
Not to mention in your OP you made some blow hard claim that a "merit" system is in most MMOs. Again, though, you lose credibility by making false claims that most MMOs have it when its not true.

All that being said. I ask you, what type of "merit" system do you want in XIV?
