WoW is adding multiplayer Trusts....

I'm sure they're watching. But hopefully they don't jump the gun and go all in just because a competitor is doing something. Not everything a competitor does ends up resonating with their player base in the long run (Torghast comes to mind).

The FFXIV player base also has different expectations from the WoW player base. Even if something works well for WoW, it may not work well here.

This is true for new features but being able to have Trusts fill in for missing roles is something that has been asked for here in XIV since the whole system was first implemented.

I know it has. But I also have a basic wariness when it comes to NPC AI functioning well. It's come a long ways over time but there's still a lot of improvement needed. NPCs can sometimes make things bad enough you wish they weren't even there.

In the past, WoW dungeons on Normal mode tended to be less punishing that some of the more recent FFXIV dungeons when it came to mechanics. I don't know if that's changed in recent years but if it hasn't, it creates quite a bit of leeway for using less than reliable NPC AI. Personally I'd still like to see tester feedback before going the "WoW did this, you have to do also FFXIV" route. Will WoW players feel that their dungeons are also getting "dumbed down" for the sake of NPC AI?
