I just feel you don't want a FF style game, you want a WoW clone with a FF aesthetic?
I do not want this game to be a WoW clone; I want it to live up to the potential I see in the things that I like about it, and I want to be able to cooperate more with friends whom I try to bring into this game, which is marketed as an MMORPG.

It is overwhelmingly difficult to get friends into this game because of the various barriers its design creates. Not only do you have to tell new players "Yeah, you'll make it to this polished content we're talking about every day in about 200 hours", but they also have to stomach "Don't worry the game gets good after the first 50 hours".

The game has existed in states where the MSQ was much more manageable. Let's not act like this game has always been this way; It's become a bloated accretion of multiple expansions and patches over a long period time, and there is an increasing need for it to be addressed.
