I think what a lot of FF14 players forget is the Square Enix devs all played WoW pretty heavily from the sounds of it. It is easy to forget they took away some pretty obvious lessons. Do you think it is an accident that this MMO does not have allowed Addons? Is it an accident that FF14 gear end game looks a hell of a lot like Wrath of the Lich King with gear sets from vendors, currencies and materia slots that are set in stone and predictable.

Do people even understand the amount of grinding you have to go through these days in WoW to get a single gem slot to get any remote customization on your gear? The devs have clearly played the competition and what is hilarious listened to those players complaints and applies them here. I do think they went way way way way overboard to childproof pvp in this MMO and are limited by technology on what they can upgrade with the glamour system.
