These same people that want this game would lose their mind when the inherent monetization took over the game if it was multiplayer. I wouldn't make a mmo on hoghwarts tho, it's too small imo. So knowing all that i'm not completly against a HP mmo but it has to forget all the things you mentionned. But overall the gameplay is good tbh, if you want a game where no job is completly useless, you'll enjoy it.

I do agree that the game gameplay gets "watered down", some jobs became a lot easier and more convenient over the years (looking at the tanks losing their "dps stance" haha). Sure it's not the best story ever, but i enjoyed it a lot, it's my main reason to play. The begining is classic for sure but it gets better at the 1rst expantion, the 2nd is a bit dissapointing, but 3rd and 4th are amazing for an mmo. Now i didn't try many other mmo but the story from FFXIV could be used to make a solid solo game focused mostly on story. The store for the game is just for cosmetics or boosts to get close to max lvl, but nothing will guive you a big advantage, no lootbox as well. It's litterally a mmo for solo players, the main story can be done with almost no grinding (if you keep the same job tho) and don't have to reroll at all. I really hope that other mmos take example from FFXIV.
