At this time we have no plans to...

This is why I "White Knight" as much as I critique the Dev team. They can't predict everything that's going to happen nor can they fix everything. Some things just won't work for XIV that worked for XI, WoW, Rift, PSO2, Tera, <insert MMO>. They are different beasts and need to be treated as such.
Am I happy with how they take some of our suggestions? Heck no.
Would I do some things differently? Absolutely.
Do I think they think their choices out? Honestly, I think they do better than other MMO's. But you can't predict everything nor can you predict everything accurately and at least they tend to fix things.

Also @Souljacker, no thanks to fighting claim bots for Hunts. That can stay in XI. (There, I cherry picked something else from your post)

Yes, every MMO is designed differently and so they each approach a concept differently. The average MMO player believes they can approach the same concept the same way each time.

For example if we design a game to be a knife and another to be a mallet and we approach an orange to try to open it. The game design with a knife can effectively cut the orange open but probably won't do as well going blunt force. While the mallet is going to pretty much blunt force the orange open but probably can never cleanly slice the orange open.

One concept but because of the difference in design, different approach.
