We're not at that place because D4 still very much feels like an ARPG and nothing like an MMO.

And look where that mentality gets us in XIV in 2023. Nowhere. We're dull and spiraling into nothingness with bloated buttons that all feel the same. Congratulations.

WoW has managed to make it work to some degree, and there are MMO-esque ARPGs that are attempting to do it as well. It can be done. Fun should be priority over strict balance.

The day XIV deals with bloat like WoW did is the day I stop playing XIV. Spamming the same 4 buttons repeatedly is not fun. I like button bloat.

Nobody cares about WoW Classic. Come back to 2023.

You make it seem like XIV doesn't suffer from those same lockout issues for raid, while also boasting that every class is perfectly balanced.

Considering the player count of classic keeps out numbering retail I'd say everyone cares about classic.
