FFXIV moved away from auto-attack while WOW went without... how odd.

[Wolfie]

Essentially all posts about WoW's combat can be summed up in 2 ways:

If they use auto attack:
It's out-dated.

If it relies on rotations:
It's button mashing and too fast paced to think.

WoW haters gonna hate. I hate that meme, but XI/XIV's playerbase is the only community I feel 100% justified in using it towards.

No matter what WoW does, XI/XIV's players will *** on it. They are too proud to admit WoW has introduced many positive things to the genre. Instead, they'd rather act like a rabid and blind fanboy who thinks anything but their own game is crap. It reminds me of those posers who think 100% of all mainstream music is crap and you're only a unique snowflake if you listen to bands with 1000 or less fans.

In every MMO, there are people who complain about WoW and want to be as far away from it as possible. XI and XIV have always taken it to the extreme with the majority of posters acting as if Blizzard molested them with WoW. It's unfounded and ridiculous. People need to grow the hell up, honestly.

There's a lot of this too. FFXI and FFXIV players have always been the most hostile against WOW, don't know where it comes from.

There's good things and bad things to take from WOW, guys. Stop pretending like everything they do is bad.
