Of course not. But I can guarantee you that the vast majority of the people who had an interest in this game, or bought it and left, put it down because the gameplay was a step back from everything else that's out right now, FFXI included.

To use your logic, people shouldn't be trying to make this into FFXI-2, because the people who like FFXI already play it and aren't going to dump it for this game. FFXIV needs to be fun and modern in its own right.
