Play a Western MMO, where there are around 5 boss fights per raid, each of which drop two pieces of gear a piece, then there's a week long lock out.

The difference with FFXIV is that you have to fight things over and over within the same span of time hoping for a drop, but the lockout timer isn't nearly as long.

I still prefer FFXIV's system. This way you don't "run out" of things to do each week.
