Fix your game

[Gnova]

So avoiding the entire MMO aspect of the game (i.e. the open landscape where it's massively multiplayer) is your idea of the best MMO experience? That that sounds horribly boring is a matter of opinion, so I can accept that some people might like to play the game that way. But I can't see how anyone would consider that to make it a good MMO.

No it isn't my ideal MMO experience but it is closer than running around doing solo content all day.
To me MMO means playing with other players and you only do you that in FF14 when in instances.
