Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Shougun]

Here's one: people that want wow type raids, wow type ability prune, or anything else like wow, go heckin play that instead instead of trying to turn this game into an exact clone.

In some ways it makes sense, like if someone wanted Thrall or something it would be extremely silly to request here "I really want Thrall in FFXIV" ... "uh.. if you want Thrall.. play WoW", but as an overall statement I feel it's silly..

What if WoW had very high quality instanced housing, or fantastic combat or something akin to the effect.

"Man I wish our housing was as good as WoW's"
"YOU WANT GOOD HOUSING!?!? GO PLAY WOW"

O.o, awful argument, imo.

Personally I see far more "go play something else / go play X" used as a stopper in the path of improvements and understanding. Like someone who uses another game as a reference to functional concepts and you get the big parrot "go play wow *squawk*".

Maybe the person asking for something gave a 2/10 effort, but I feel this ("go play x / leave") behavior makes a 0/10 quality to the thread. I'd always prefer to see someone poorly trying to ask for something than relatively lazy dismissal's of concepts. One is vaguely informative, the other is almost entirely, if not actually, a useless addition- imo.
