I loved this! I wanna see WoW removing the AA and making the game even better, while we are stuck to someone's "standards". For someone claiming he wants FFXIV to become the #1 MMO, i think Yoshida didn't plan it right...if you stick with the standards you're fated to have an average result...and no one can be #1 with just average results.

I really hope WoW have it done right...because the concept behind the FFXIV original battle was awesome, just depreciated by the poor server performance and some other minor flaws, like lackluster animations and the crumblesome battle regimen...but nothing that couldn't be fixed and polished over time to become an unique mechanics...

Anyway...i told this over and over and over to dev team in the last months...so now i'll just wait and see WoW getting even better by using what FFXIV discarded...and then saying them "I told so!". ^^
