I've got a good one from ffxiv 1.0, you can't gain exp after so many hours, so you need rested exp to level again; basically forcing people to logout for the day. That phase in gaming history was brought to the world by our beloved boomers.

Okay one more because my friends said this was awful.

This one is for all you Scholar and Summoner mains. Fairies and Carbuncles now have HP and their own stats. They are, essentially, additional party members but have less health than your character. They are susceptible to all debuffs including confusion and eye glare mechanics. You have to move and order them manually.

Fairies and Carbuncles can die to aoes, etc. When they die you have to raise them like any other party member. All the effects (buffs and debuffs) they had when up also vanish upon their death.
