Like I said before, the forum community is more hung up on who posts a topic rather than what is being posted. Rokien said it best, if anyone else posted on this subject matter people would be having a reasonable discussion rather than automatically attacking the poster.
FFXI was essentially an Everquest clone, just with FF characteristics. Not saying that this game should be a WoW clone, nor that I am for it, but it really doesn't need to take ideas solely from FFXI. We're getting things like HNMs and open world primals, which is fine honestly.

Also, Rokien knows full well why people react the way they do. He's got the most absurd threads, and plenty of them.
