You know, I have to say that the MMORPG market is pretty well replete with games that cater to the kind of gameplay that the OP and others seem to wish for.

FFXIV is one of the few, if not the only, games to offer a slower paced, more structured/strategic approach. Given that situation, I have to ask why FFXIV should change when what you apparently desire is available in so many other games already.

FFXIV is what it is, many people came to this game because of that. Changing such fundamental things in the game would alienate many players. Hell, just the gameplay changes in HW caused some players problems, and they were just skill adjustments.
