Actually i do understand but please prove me wrong when i say that some of the PvE has started to sound like the instances in WoW.
And in regards to the only PvP stuff mentioned by someone up there ^^^^
The way i see it is this:
FFXI: almost pure PvE, there is incredibly minimal PvP in this game, i started mmorpgs on this and returned later
WoW: Balance between the 2 but still more heavily on PvE
WHO: Can you now see why I would want this game to be almost completely PvP? lol
FFXI has almost no PvP and since everyone is so god damn shitty at any sort of intelligent life attacking them i completely demolish in the small amount that is pvp.
WoW's biggest issue was me was the LACK of skill that was needed to PvP. I was EASILY and UNDISPUTIBLY one of if not the MOST skilled hunter on my server when i played and really anyone who played with me would vouche for me. But in a game based so heavily on gear (and some lack of balance mixed in), there would be little hope for me to win a 1v1 battle against, for example, an incredibly geared paladin (because the class took no skill and was way too overpowered). The fact that i knew my class well enough to be one of the best *skilled* players would allow me to commonly beat players who were better geared then me but in regards to the general population playing that game. Equipment wins the fight, not skill. And this was the #1 thing i HATED about WoW.
EDITagain: I'd also like to add because of the imbalance of a game, there was no rogue on the server or in our battlegroup that would ever be able to beat me in a 1v1 fight with any consistancy because of class balance, regardless of their gear. This was true with pretty much any rogue against any hunter with half a brain.
Now in regards to WHO, its basic mmorpg math here:
For the most part.....
PvE = gear
PvP = skill
more PvE = more gear
less PvP = less skill
therefor the more PvE there is and the less PvP there is, the less skill-based the game is.
I'm not saying that WHO is PvE based but every bit of added PvE cause the game to be more gear based which im sick of. FFXI is completely PvE based and in result of that everyone is a bunch of bumbling idiots when it comes to PvP. This could also be part of the reason I started playing FPS almost religiously and is HUGELY the reason i quit WoW a ~year ago.

EDIT: I'd also like to add, for the record, that alliance were little boys who would only fight when the numbers were 3:1 in their favor cause they were bad
