whats wrong with wow?

If you want to use your brain while playing XI, play white mage. You have to pay attention full time or *SHOCK* people die. You need to know what moves to watch for or your alliance can't function properly because they're slowed, paralyzed, or slept. xD

This is almost like comparing baseball to basketball. Yes, they're both sports that use a ball, but the rules and gameplay are largely different. Is one better than the other just because it's fundamentally different than the other?

my white mage was 75, what i found out was while im PTing, I constantly repeat in a cycle. Haste on different players 1, 2, 3, mob cast silence on tank, silena, heal, sometimes a paralyse, and a silence on mob, then haste again. repeat the cycle...
after leveling a long time, my brain almost like suffering neurasthenia... you don't actually USE your brain, you just repeat...till you hit the fatigue limit.

I was referring more to WHM endgame, which I found quite challenging and fun. I had to be on the ball the whole fight, using the right spells at the right time, watching the mob to see what ailment it was inflicting so I could remove it.

Personally, I enjoyed the long fights in FFXI. For me it gave the sense of "fighting an epic battle." I'm sorry you didn't. Please let us enjoy our game, and we'll let you enjoy yours. It's as simple as that.
