FFXI was my first serious mmo, as such it holds a special place in my heart. I think "we don't want it like ffxi" or "we dont want ffxi-2" comes from some of the aspects that really should have been redone in it's infancy. Like the party feature, a ton of job adjustments and mechanics, content like worldspawn HNMs, storylines battles, crafting, gathering, rmt actions that should have never been, instances, inventory.. these are just a few of an ever growing list of problems that afflicted xi and scarred both long term players and short term. In my opinion it's not saying change or do not implement what has made xi great, but please do not implement the things that caused a lot of frustrations/ragequits/and for some..tears.
