UI design, will SE follow the rest of the MMO world?

With new MMO's coming out left right and center, I think, why bother they're all just after a WoW like clone. But one of the things that strikes me, is how all of them (and this includes WoW) shamelessly copy each others interfaces and layout design.

There is a good mixture in there, but the list of things doesn't just stop there. Things like exp bars, chat logs, compasses and much much more follow this same old style, and frankly it's just dull and repetitive.

You compare that to FFXI, and you see a much more cleaned up, original UI that doesn't look half bad.

But where the Rest of the MMO world like ( wow , Eq , and Lotro ) are good at they have custom UIs. I just hope that SE understands we like to custom are game to our view and not a cookie cutters point of view.. here`s hoping
