Heavensward. Something is missing?

There's a big problem with doing server-level events like this.
PEOPLE WILL JUST ZERG IT.

Not if the mechanics were such that a 'zerg' is impossible. If something can be zerged, it's the fault of the developer, not the players, as it's down to them to design a fight which is more than just a big monster with a lot of HP.

Its not FFXI.

OP saved me the trouble in his own thread.

FFXI has lasted for over 10 years because there was always something more to be done. It had oodles of content, a wide variety of skills per player and new and interesting ways to play each class which didn't involve being rooted to DPS, Heal, or Tank. Do tell me why being a little more like FFXI would be a bad thing?
