I see this thrown around quite a bit.
Can you/anyone else kindly recommend any single-player vidja with similar battle system and level of customization?
Combat-wise the only thing that comes to mind is Xenogears Chronicles and that's about it.

How assigning where you should stand with a macro or (preferably) a waymarker is a most social interaction is quite beyond me...

Well, I was just being facetious. I don't really take the forums (or anything) seriously - it's just empty talk.

But still, it kind of gets to me when I see ~10-12 "hard-duty" groups juxtaposed with ~30-40 "I'm opening a sex-bar, or somesuch!" groups ― I think, it says a lot about our great community and the people I'm playing with, so to speak.

To be honest, if hiring another intern, or whoever they can afford with the minuscule budget SE allocates to the developer team, to improve AI of NPCs means we're going to lose another braindead FATE grind with lootboxes - Yes, please!

Again, that's not going to happen but I think in the environment in which hard content could be done with a group of NPCs - the "statics" will actually thrive and it would be easier to clear raids/trials, considering that asocial, unhinged liabilities like myself won't be around.

And just as a reminder, back in A Realm Reborn and Heavensward party finder was World based - and it wasn't dead - on Odin and Gilgamesh at least.

Personally, I don't care about "loot", especially considering how freaking ugly and unimaginative the gear-sets from current and previous expansion are.
I simply want to experience and figure mechanics on my own without spoiling everything with a guide, annoying other players with my silent attitude and, excuse me, being handicapped by the handicapped.
