SE, you need to go in for the kill.

I don't expect a huge amount of the WoW players who quit to migrate here all of a sudden. The few reasons they've been playing WoW is because of the amount of time they've invested in it, the friends they've made, maybe an addiction to it, etc. Once they're realised they'll be perfectly fine without WoW, or anything like it, I don't see them joining another.

A lot of the complains aimed at WoD also apply to FFXIV. Lack of open world content? Can't say FFXIV has much of that. Not enough major raid content? FFXIV has 1 hardcore raid with 4 bosses (one of which isn't even a boss) every 6 months, and only 2 difficulties, the 3.1 raid has 1 difficulty and will be beat within the first hour or two. PvP? They're not even bothering with that. This is not to mention the differences in gameplay and general aesthetic that'll turn a lot of WoW players off. They're used to orcs and demons, and come into here seeing cutesy demons and cat girls. 2.5 second GCD compared to WoW's 1s or 1.5s (don't really remember).
