Thoughts on how to improve on FF14

Actually clamp down on people using 3rd party software, you know the kind I'm talking about.

The thing is you can’t really fix the game because the abysmal gameplay (jobs) and shitty encounter designs are interwoven and made so on purpose.

Essentially the game is: “press our hardcoded, bloated button sequence right, but you can choose which one you want and the accompanying effects to look at (different jobs). The boss mechanics will serve as a nasty distraction”.

If you “fix” the jobs, so they have an actual point and gameplay like classes in WoW, the game falls apart because it itself is too braindead.

Just imagine you're playing the normal game but with PvP style jobs (which is the closest thing in this game resembling real MMO classes), so there's no "rotation", no never changing button sequences, no 123 124 125 into resource into resource into finisher into finisher 2 clockwork gameplay. Only ''real'' skills and your decisions. But here's the catch....there are no decisions to make.
