how did we at a place where diablo4 is more of an mmo that FF14?

*Diablo has become an online only mess where "Boss enemy will spawn in X minutes!"*
*XIV is nearly soloable depending on how much you want to unsync the MSQ fights*
I hate this timeline.

Players are getting options.

What they seem to hate is when other players are not picking the options they personally prefer.

Draw back of any talent tress IMO.

Depends on your personal preference.

I loved playing around with the old talent trees in WoW, creating fun to me builds without concern for whether they were optimizing DPS.

At the same time, I would stick to the optimal builds when raiding to help out my team.

The real drawback are players. Are they doing the content to spend time having fun, or are they doing the content to get their loot as fast as possible before going to the next piece of content or logging out? They're the ones who tend to force certain choices on other players.

Totally different in our awesome balanced FF14 where groups reject MCH (prior to buffs)

no amount of balance will players not be meta sheeps.

There are a lot of players who don't want to be meta-sheeps. Sadly, others don't get them the option.
