whats wrong with wow?

[Zaene]

Having played both FFXI and WoW for extended periods of time. Both games have pros and cons. Making any definitive statements about the "horribadness" of one game or another simply states the level of intellect various players have. The simply fact of the matter is, both games have succeeded to some extent and thus have redeeming qualities.

I vehemently disagree with Kilta's stance that the creation of WoW created a Pandora's Box and all these "terrible players" were released into a world full of candy and roses.

If the concept you are advocating can be explained in its entirety in an extremely brief manner it most likely is extremely stylized.

..."horribadness"...

I believe that according to the Jeff Cannata vernacular, the word you're looking for is "terribad", which is the antonym of "fantasgreat", good sir.

That being said, this thread seems to have gone off the deep end. If WoW has any good features, like any other MMO, the devs on FFXIV should definitely look into it, and think about ways to incorporate it that make sense and work with Final Fantasy. I'm pretty sure the base aesthetic of the FFXIV UI is a product of this idea, with the the ability to move everything around, a (good)minimap and an action bar, etc.
