You are correct XI has had its time and it is now XIVs time

However that does not mean that we have to except XIV as it is or that the direction of MMORPGs is in our/my OPINION going up shit creek without a paddle.

TBH how a culture choses to enjoy themselves (i.e Games Multimedia etc) is historically often a reflection of their societal values. I am ashamed to be living through an era where people think they are "entitled" to almost everything and anything without even lifting one finger or even just being nice.

To sum it up this is probably what it all comes down to
