You're somewhat conflating job design with combat. FFXIV's combat has always suffered from an egregiously long global cooldown and janky netcode that limits the types of mechanics they can use.

In any case, re: the greater thread, I don't see ERP as all that much of an issue. Just don't AFK in Limsa? I barely see any of that stuff. That said, as long as FFXIV remains the premier destination for it, it's gonna be here to stay.
