Oh that’s right, they scrapped it, didn’t they?
Eh, I wish I could skip 2.0 and 4.0 stories faster.
So basically, too complex for you. Christ, samurai isn’t even complicated. You’re too used to spamming crap.

And WoW is different how? Every class variation is going to look up the best build and run with it, anyway. I mean Blizzard literally built a private forum for feedback from theorycrafters. This community is too enslaved to the meta to do anything outside BiS. The whining over covenant abilities proved that much.
well ppl talked about necro for long time but yeah necro was never on the list
what we got instead was puppeter (a monk with a robot pet that u can customize , can be whm , rdm , ranger , pld ) u used elemental manevaurs to “choose” what u want from the pet u can stack up to 3 but u can overload your pet (it stops doing anything for 1 min)
sounds hard but its a cool job
if anything SE know how to make jobs , blu on FFXI is one if not the most cool class created ever.

If this were true, there wouldn’t be story skips on the shop. You can play the game however you like and there’s nothing wrong with that. WoW and FFXIV are pretty much in the same boat with it comes to trivializing the journey through the shop.
I uh… I’m a roleplayer. I just don’t like cash shop skips because they take the meaning out of exactly what you’re wanting. A journey.

Your character isn’t loosely flailing their sword around clipping through their own shoulders, and waving their hands over their head, wtf???
If there’s one thing WoW needs to do better it’s definitely the builder/spender rotation glut. It’s very boring by comparison to that.

Yeah I agree! I said that in the post aha
Puppeteer! That’s it. I actually liked puppeteer more than I would have necromancer, oddly enough.

yeah me too , too bad it took a while for SE to fix it (lack of Hand to hand skill) anyway that little robot was lovely 
And yet seven years later WOW still hasn’t died. Funny that.
Was more talking about specs themselves existing (WoW Paladin is effectively 3 classes, FFXIV Paladin is only Prot), but it’s worth noting that there are tons of people who play this game (and other MMOs) who play at a casual enough level to not care about being optimal. Or, you know, alts.
I will give FF14 one thing; even with the long GCD there is enough spells to weave in and out it to basically mitigate it.
But there are bread and butter rotations (atleast with Dragoon) that become core while you mix in other OGCDs to repeat back with the rotations.

Yeah exactly. There’s nothing wrong with pacing down combat since it keeps there from being extended downtime in a rotation also. It just feels a bit better to my monkey brain.

You do realize Anima was a summon from FFX right? That FFX came out before WoW… and that also Anima is probably the token “Primal Fight” rather than the true baddie? You also realize that FFIV heavily involved “Going to the Moon” as a major plot point, which is why they decided to recreate the “Big Whale” Spaceship, and add FFIV themed minion pets to the game?
Here’s a radical thought. Play both games so you don’t burn out on WoW or FFXIV.
As far as I can tell, neither Development team is stealing ideas from each other. Inspired by each-other? Sure why not. This occurs all the time in game-design and usually results in a better product that the player’s get as a result. Stealing implies a calculated intent instead of happy coincidences. I haven’t seen that. Was it stealing for Blizzard to name the Silithid after the Ilithid? Nope. Not at all. Just a clever name for a race.
Not everything is the result of a boogey-murloc in your closet, or a Sand Gnome conspiracy.

I had to deal with FF14 cs one time and I would never sub to them again.
This games cs is no better but thats what minimum wage and sleeping in their cars gets a company.
I’d be playing ffxiv instead of wow if two things were different. Ffxiv gcd was shorter and addons were allowed. I love my elvui and weakauras.
