It is what it is, let it be FFXIV. I don't really care what "thousands" of other people wanted, SE didn't want to do that and Yoshida isn't pushing it in that direction either. They've decided on their target audience, I don't see that changing anytime soon or ever. Honestly initially the thought of this game being like FFXI made me not want to even try it, I tried FFXI and wasn't a big fan. I know I'm not alone in that one. Not only that but I know a lot of people who are glad FFXIV is going the way it is because they simply don't have the same amount of time to put into the game as they did back when FFXI was out.

Games are "copying" WoW because WoW set a lot of standards for the MMO genre and with good reason. Some of these things are becoming standards because they're good. Just because a game uses something WoW did doesn't mean it's trying to be exactly like WoW, it's just trying to keep up with the times. Maybe you should open your eyes a little bit.
