[devPLEASE] Dynamic World - If Ever You Do Something - Do This!

The whole Chain is like 20% of the system

It's the mere fact that it's part of the system. It doesn't matter if it's the whole system or even the majority part.

reduce in graphics

The graphics aren't being "reduced." they're being optimized. FFXIV currently hogs way more resources than it should really need to render the level of graphics it is capable of displaying. The "copy paste" was due to a lack of time to create enough assets to fill out the size of the world they were going for.

Who's the one who doesn't know what they're talking about now?

the crafting system in XIV is nothing good

i thought it was pretty good. If it was that bad, it would have been totally replaced with something else.

You need to be careful how you word your thoughts. The way you're writing now, you sound like a GW2 fanboy or an FFXIV hater- you're not being objective.

It does, because there is lots of stuff to the quest system, there isnt "Go talk to X, go kill Y, finish back at X" which is XIV's tool, that is skipped by not even talking in GW2, and then there is tons more features on top which make the questing system so much more unique and better.

You can white knight out your ass for sure, but you cant sit there and say XIV is doing it right and doesnt need improving.

I'm not white knighting, but you sure are black knighting. Nowhere did I, or even anyone else in this thread say ffxiv is perfect and doesn't need any improvements. However, it doesn't have to copy some other game in order to improve.

At least that'll be the case until the set of quests resets back.

Therein lies my point. You do get the "living" feel, but you have a cycle that eventually repeats. Nothing you do has a permanent impact. GW2 seems to me to be masking the flaws of an old system more than truly correcting them. I'm not saying it's a bad game either, but you're basically coming into this thread, slamming FFXIV, and lavishing GW2 with praise, without a lot of substance to explain your position. Any time someone pokes holes in your argument, they're "white knighting." I've seen this time and time again.
