WoW job design is better than FF14. The specs are still unique. Blood DK plays totally different from Brewmaster. Disc Priest plays totally different from Holy, and fucking BEASTMASTER (yes WoW has a BST) plays different from Survival Hunter.

Destiny is literally moving away from their dumbed down system of "3 skill trees" opting for more customizability and build crafting. Bungie has been adding more and more depth to the game ever since Beyond Light. They've even changed their encounter formula from literally "sit in the Well and shoot at the boss while he stands still" to literally "yeah this boss actually will kill you while you shoot at him, so don't sit in the well."

Fuck, even V-Rising showed how good the housing decoration system can be if people didn't have to rely on glitches and bullshit to do anything.

Yeah ofc those games have their own weaknesses, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about what FF14 can learn from other games, what the devs can implement into this game.

And before you say "OH MY GOD THIS IS FF14 NOT WOW OH MY GOD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE". Bud, did you know how your god actually managed to save FF14 from the disaster that is 1.X?

They literally took the good things from other video games, and used that to improve on the weaknesses of FF14.
If FF14 didn't learn from other video games, especially from their competition, then 1.X would still be shutdown, 2.X wouldn't exist, and FF14 would still be a laughing stock of a video game.

Learning lessons from other video games in the market, taking what works and improving upon them and using that to fix holes in your video game is the best way to do things.
