  This.
  
  FF14 is far too reliant on team coordination. One person's mistake costs the whole fight. It's very nice of Squeenix to minimize punishment of party wipes on boss fights, but even a quick retry felt dragged out as the game progressed, since fights started getting longer and longer.
  
  It's certainly a lot of tension and fun, but relying on other people to do their part perfectly is something I'm having a very hard time getting used to.

  
  
  
  Example, if you wipe on certain primals, you can get a buff called the Echo. Increases stat %.
  
  However all the stat% in the world isnt going to save you when your healers get landslided off during Titan EX. That was the only fight in the game i ever had to implement a booting rule in order to beat.

  Fights are scripted, so it shouldn't be too hard for someone who's paying attention. Yes, it was quite frustrating to not be able to beat Titan HM to progress in the storyline for like a week as a result of joining random parties--which always had at least one person who was inexperienced and hence costing us the battle--every time. But this was by design. SE wanted to encourage players to form semi-permanent teams. Once I've done that, I've found that I was having much more fun. Battles felt sooo rewarding--wanting to scream "YEAH!!" for beating a dungeon isn't something that happens when you're on Mabinogi, playing with those mentally-challenged people and their NX-buffed characters.

  There was a time when Mabi could maybe me feel that way...
  Anyway the only other MMO I've personally played enough to recommend is GW2. I agree that the combat is pretty repetitive, but the world is beautiful, the storyline is interesting (and constantly being added to), and even a fairly new player can access all of the content pretty easily.

  Mabinogi's "equivalent" would be your reaction when you get something decent from Gachapwn.

  Don't forget how each time you wipe, you actually unprogress.

  I thought FFXIV wasn't a PC game. :O
  
  Thanks for the recommendations; I'll try looking into them - maybe GW2 or Archeage or something. @_@ Something preferably F2P.
