Argh, you fit in with the majority of Japanese players. It looks like the majority of NA players do not like challenging games. Hence, WOW. You and I are elitest players, and we are a minority. Unfortunately with the way it looks things are headed, MMOs are not our gig... We need to either go back to FFXI or play competitive multiplayer games.

FFXIV is going to fail anyway if it merely tries to be another WOW clone.
