Ok, so Ive read the thread as thoroughly as I can muster and I have yet to see these answered. If these are repeat questions, I sincerely apologize. (also, after playing both WoW and FFXI, I loathe FFXI, and love WoW, so in effect, I wouldn't mind one bit if this was a "near wow clone" in mechanics anyway...) =P
1. Crafting system: is this similar to the nice simple wow crafting in that once you have the mats, you're guaranteed to make the item, but an increase in skill level is "optional"? or is it more overly complex and convoluted like FFXI?
2. Can you make macros a'la Wow?
3. How similar is the combat system to wow? Is a significant amount of the dmg you deal (as melee) from auto-attacks? or is it almost all special moves? and, as a caster: is there any version of auto attack, or is it pure spells like wow?
4. Partying/Soloing/Leveling: Is the Exp gain system similar to FFXI in that if you dont have a party, you are seriously screwed on xp? or is it more like wow where you can easily solo level if you feel so inclined? (I understand that you may prefer to party for certain benefits, but in FFXI you were pretty much forced to party or you would never get anything done - bleh).
5. Also, roughly how long does it take to gain a level in game time wise? What sort of time difference would you see if you were to gain a level solo versus partying to do it?
