The problem with this is that if you going to bring all the aspects of one game into another, you are essentially creating the same game. The only thing that would have changed are the graphics. Now, that said, 14 can benefit from some ideas and that's what the devs are working on doing. At the same time, 14 is supposed to be a "different" game and experience.

The fact that everyone wants it to be like 11 means that they refuse to remain open-minded. Just about the biggest mistake SE did was to try and compete with WoW and brought over a lot of it's features.
