Anybody else got tired of scripted fights?

Hm? There's even an MMO without scripted fights? All the things you mentioned appear in other MMOs too...

The thing that XIV would benefit, though are unique mechanics in the fights. In the end, all we got are variations of the same telegraphs... But then, there's the whole sphagetti code limitation that might or might not play a role in how homogenized the combat mechanics are.

My experience with various mmos is limited since I find one and tend to settle in, but FFXI still doesn't have scripted fights with even the new content they add. There are big attacks that happen when hp hits certain amounts for some bosses but that's the limit of them being scripted. Most bosses and regular enemies have a TP system like the player and a certain set of abilities to go along with them and after that its for the most part random as to what they use.

And ffxi is still surprisingly populated for a 20 year old mmo.
