That was a game that relied on this kind of open-world, group and community-oriented content. Which is why some of us like it.
My original in-game surname was "Alexander" because I played FFXI on the alexander server from NA release until 2008. Very familiar with old content. Very familiar with horizontal progression. The difference is, in FFXIV - a game with vertical progression, is that old content becomes outdated very quickly. Its like comparing apples to oranges. Its not some kind of truism. It just is what it is.
