I enjoyed reading you post.

I feel like if there were more balancing to making combat strategic in a way that wasn't just learning mechanics, but knowing your enemy and having a winning plan, that all those subtle positioning things should be developed and improved upon for the sake of the experience of... well... pack hunting. But FFXIV isn't marketed as that kind of game, and it is the grey area of positional becoming more and more silly that has me just not caring for them.

I wouldn't say I really feel strongly about it, them being the weak facet of the game they are now doesn't diminish things for me in any significant way. SE will do what they will do to gain and keep subscribers in an upward trend; so far they haven't done anything to make me consider unsubscribing.
