I agree with BBQ
FFXI is doing a damn fine job of keeping the game updated and improved. Since ive started playing Ive seen 3 expansions, Countless new areas, mobs, items, Sea, Salvage, Assault, Campaign just to name a few. This is quite alot of improvements to a 6-7 year old game. IMO ffxi is worlds ahead of any other MMO out ther. Take WoW for example, do the quests and such do anything for a story, there is no missions and no real story line at all. Not to mention most things in WoW are completeable by solo enevours which defeats the purpose of MMO.
If anything I think FFXI offers more to the other games to pick from then it needs to take from them. We have what 20 Job classes now that you can change to when ever the hell you feel like it, unending amounts of quests, missions, events. Personally out of all the other MMO's I have played FFXI sets the bar of what it means to be MMO, there is little to nothing you can do in this game outside of a group, from exp-missions-quests-events.
If SE were to take anything from any thing to improve FFXI I would like to see PvP acctually mean something other than braging rights. Weekley or monthly tournaments, Points for killing people you can spend on gears, items, etc. (Like how wow offers fame or something to buy its endgame "relic" gear.)
