Adding attack-or-take-damage/die mechanics to end-game dungeons

[vetch]

I wouldn't call it a double standard, more someone not realizing or accepting what FFXIV is about. If someone is purely interested in combat, why play a game that straight-up markets itself as primarily a story-based MMO (one of the reasons it's frequently called an RPGMMO instead of an MMORPG).

Terrible reasoning because both RPGs and MMOs have detailed battle systems for players to learn and enjoy even when they're trying to tell grandiose stories. It doesn't matter what order you put the acronym in.
