i see nothing wrong with talking about another MMO on this site, if anything there are some constructive comments that might improve XIV, the Devs can always take few best aspects of another MMO, hopefully they can just ignore the white-knights though.

Games should be fun and easy to jump into. But... should only be tailored to its audince of choice. NOT seek out other crowds just for $$$$
whatttt? obviously generating more money is the best interest of a company and not only it is beneficial for the company, it is also beneficial for players as they can push updates even faster, better server stability with more $$$ in their hand.
