@AyaJulia:

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. FFXI was my first MMO (though I played MUDs for years and years before that). Your average huntard on WoW wouldn't even make it to levelcap on FFXI. They wouldn't have the patience for it. More importantly, FFXI is almost entirely based around partying, it's probably the least solo-friendly MMO in existence. If you want to get anywhere, you are pretty much forced to group from like, 10 onwards. And, like you said, the endgame is just brutal.

I know I sound biased, but any WoW raiding guild would be lucky to have an FFXI alum in their ranks. The type of mentality it takes to be a successful endgame player on FFXI translates beautifully into raiding on WoW.
