there would be a move to raids and rare/ex gear
as such crafting + gathering would be diminished

At the time crafting and gathering were supposed to still be main jobs. my predictions came true, they are now side jobs, and we now have most of our "best" gear as rare/ex.

Almost everything i negatively posted about has come true or is still true... So i think most of my "criticism" threads were justified.

Does that mean the game is bad? no. It just means its significantly strayed from its original intentions. I would now argue FFXIV has -nothing- overly unique to it other than pretty graphics. That -IS- a problem, since this year it will have to compete with tera, Diablo III, and starwars. So far tera and starwars -BETAS- seem to have gotten significantly better reviews than this game would manage to pull off.. Thats a bit scary.
Even now you are pulling claims out of your box of lies, damn lies, and statistics. Your fearmongering of other game shas nothing to do with raid system of this game, both of which have not been fully completed. Unless one of those games bring down WoW, and I mean bring it to Warhammer 40k numbers, I'm not convinced they're the zomg threat you make them out to be.

DoH is not a side job, nor do the devs intend it to be. The upcoming materia system's intention is to strengthen crafted gear, and there will always be a want for HQ that raids are not known for providing.

So by all means, quake in your boots, perhaps Professor Layton will be the next thing to haunt your dreams.
