Not every MMO can have a modern combat system not older than 4 years (the action-combat trend in MMOs started around 2011?).

But what the devs can do is bringing more bosses with multiple target points. Where we have to weaken the boss with attacking specific parts of his body (like attacking the legs so the boss fall down and lying on the ground for a while).
I never played XI so I can't say what type of combat it has, but action combat in MMOs goes back to 2004 and earlier, and has widely diversified since then. Nowadays basically every genre of game has an MMO equivalent. You would think that the archaic point-and-click system would have fallen out of favor long ago with the invention of broadband, but lazy devs just keep on recycling it over and over.
