    Not really in my experience. The only thing I think adds some difficulty to WoW is its shorter GCD. Mechanically the fights in FF14 are more challenging. There is more to dodge, threat has to be managed and mechanics that are ignored are much more punishing. Early on it is very easy true but that's just part of the learning curve built into the game and you need to remember that often in the DF you will be running with people who both know the fights well and are over geared for those dungeons due to the roulette.

    I hope your right even though I have left WoW behind. Past experience makes me doubtful though. It took them over a year after it was announced to release WoD and even with earlier examples you still usually had breaks of over 8 months.

    I don't think it will be good for anyone if WoW dies.

    That's the thing, dodging when it tells you where to go doesn't make it hard. I come from a game where the boss would do an aoe or a certain skill you would have to remember the name and remember what to do (As far as stack or move). There isn't a ground warning and a long cast time, you needed actually learn the boss, you needed to actually remember the name of the skill. Plus the boss/mobs wouldn't always do their skills in the same sequence every time. Which made you have to really be on your toes.

    This is true.
    It's good when WoW doesn't leave FFXIV and the other games completely in the shadow anymore. Which is the case now.
    But WoW dying completely would be a bad thing for MMOs anywhere.

    The industry is already in decline.
    You don't want that behemoth that is WoW. which put MMO's into the spotlight, to give up.
    It's good if they fall into a smaller place as the industry continues along.
    But if they just go away, it'll really leave a void in the MMO world (whatever your feelings on the state of the game is) which might spark the end of an era.
