It's a perfect case in point on how difficult working on MMORPG can be. IT could cause very random glitches or bugs that could break the game.
That's just spaghetti code.

XIV has it's share of bugs but they are usually actually related to the modified feature in question... in XI you get bugs like when the scholar job was implemented with spells that modify the player's weather status, at the same time some completely unrelated monster types self-healing ability that is based on weather broke and healed for a lot more than it should.

It can be hilarious.
