What's your point? MW3 just made a billion dollars in 16 days. It has more engaging multiplayer than XIV. I can even team up with friends for challenging PvE content. Plus, MW3 is a lot like XIV when it first released in that we have a character level and a level for each weapon.

What's not to compare? RPG elements are in most games these days. As MW3 shows, if a grind is done properly those nasty "casual gamers" don't mind a grind.

Only difference is Activision takes their flagship titles seriously and understands do-overs aren't likely.

Exactly. PLus 1 man. Its not like I am comparing cats to the planet mars here. We are talking about games within the same genre. Both have very similar elements in game design and Playability. Certainly I understand that SE is making every attempt to repair what was done, and I applaud them for having the balls to do what no other major gaming company has ever done (that I know of) by doing so. I hope that they are successful in every way and we get the game we were hoping for. But its only natural when mistakes are made that people will make comparisons.

Lets hope this next patch bring thems one step closer to reaching their goal when it is finally released. (See how I used that last part to stay on topic? )
