HAHAHA I love posts such as these.

Let's face it, you want, no you NEED the game to be more like WoW. Look if I was making a brand new game, I would copy an ultra successful model as well, but I guess the Japs are too arrogant/blinded to follow suit.

I liken it to this:

Playing WoW is like living in the first world with your comfy house with electricity, running water, a maid, supermarkets, internet and cars.

Playing FFXIV is like like in sub-saharan africa with a house made of camel manure, water you need to fetch from a dinky well, kerosene lamps for light, camels as transportation and cactus for food. Oh and forget about the internet.
