How PL'ing killed FFXIV.

[Raikki]

I seen people who did full 950 legitimately yet cannot complete DH or fail constantly on Ifrit.

Means nuttin.

Skill of playing comes down to the player.

This exactly. Quite honestly, playing WoW or, better yet, single player action games is better learning experience for FF14 endgame than grinding every class in this game to 50 "legitimately".
