I'm a little confused as to why you're so sure this won't happen, with only references of their previous MMO to back up your statement. Anyone who had actually played FFXI and came to FFXIV can effortlessly list numerous changes that had been made going into FFXIV.

Here, I'll list a few.
  • Non-chocobo mounts
  • No limit break quests, even confirmed not to happen for 3.0
  • Obvious class differences (SMN, BRD, SCH, DRK)
  • Easing of crafting difficulty
  • No skill chains or magic bursts
  • Not having to skill up things such as evasion, summoning magic, weapon proficiency
  • Open world bosses giving credit to everyone regardless of who pulled
  • Quest based leveling instead of flat grinding
  • Male Miqo'te
  • Female Roegadyn
  • Au'ra

Just because FFXI did it one way doesn't mean FFXIV won't do it another. It's not the same game. Sure, I think FFXI did some things better, but I've moved on. I think people might be happier once they learn to do the same.
