In FFXI you didn't need "perfect combinations to play", those players were called elitist and lazy, any combination worked for any encounter as long as you had the basics (someone to keep the mob from slaughtering everyone, i.e tank, someone to keep them alive, i.e healer and someone to support, i.e rdm/brd/cor etc.) This holds true in every MMORPG, including new ones.

By the way, in FFXIV people already use "perfect combinations"...so uhm...whoops too late? You quote WoW but you forgot to mention how they've been tweaking the talent tree and basically getting rid of useless ones. There's no perfect system out there.

People absolutely love to state "FFXIV is a different game blah blah!" but always want it to be like every generic MMORPG that's been released in the past 8 years. Make up your minds, do you want it to be the same MMORPG or do you want it to be something different? You can't have both and I can guarantee if people want to play WoW they'll play WoW, not XIV.

You should actually check, because new people are joining XI every day and when you're done butthumping Blizzard and WoW you'd know WoW is actually on the decline and has been for awhile, even Blizzard admits it's going downhill a bit, especially with their focus on Diablo III.
