Don't want to shit up the wow thread with ffxiv stuff, but it does feel a lot like how wow vanilla felt. Both in the sense of exploring a new world, but also just in the basic combat mechanics. I don't need to read tooltips for an hour just to figure out how my class works at level 10. Honestly, I think that change marked the biggest decline for me in WoW... easy to learn, hard to master... What used to be level 50 gameplay mechanics that you'd only be doing after weeks of repetition is no thrown into players hands within the first 2 hours of the game. Sometimes it's nice just to press 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,4,1,2,1,2 for a while.
Don't give me bullshit that games need to be complicated... MMOs should be social experiences, not whack-a-mole hotbar action games.
