This is why you don't seem to fully understand SE lol. 2.0 is purely about making money for them and they'll more than likely throw out everything they wanted to do/have been doing to make that money.

Just because mob grinding is going away doesn't mean that all party content is going with it. There will be a strong emphasis on dungeons, as well as a redesign of the behest, caravan systems. I imagine there will also be plenty of group quests as well. Jobs are still relevant without the grinding.

What is a "current" gen MMO? They all seem to be derivative of the quest chaining that WOW popularized. GW2 is probably the most unique since it gets rid of the quest hub, but even then almost every quest is 99% kill/collect grindfest.

If anyone has continue to advance the system, I think its Blizzard. There is a nice chunk of non-kill quests and the phasing stuff makes it feel like your actions are really impacting the game world.

The point is, all those games have some kind of authoratative stance on their MMO whereas Yoshi just panders to the lowest common denominator that wants WoW served on a platter in FFXIV's skin. Only, nobody actually wants that anyway. Lol.

We don't know enough details about leveling in 2.0 to make that determination. All we know is that it will be quest driven and faster than what we have now -- a description that would fit any other game mentioned in this thread.

I do agree that no body wants a "World of Final Fantasycraft"; I've said as much in other threads. However, that doesn't mean Yoshi should forsake everything about WOW, it actually did plenty right and there is a lot he can take and apply here that will improve the experience for both hardcore and casual gamers.

Idk how many times people have said that "we don't know" whenever I complain about something. Though, everything that I have complained about gets pretty clear as time goes on, and it's looking just like how I've been saying it will look.

When you've lost so much trust in the developers that you will trash something without ever trying it or knowing anything about it, then its time to wave goodbye.
