What are you talking about? WoW was doing that before FFXIV:ARR ever came out. Gear that levels with you was introduced in Wrath of the Lich King in 2008-2009. The character as the main hero? That was Mists of Panderia, circa 2012, ALSO predating FFXIV:ARR. Ranked PvP? Holy s***, that was introduced in Burning Crusade, the first expansion the game ever had!

Yoshida borrowed all the things you mentioned from WoW, not the other way around. Some of those things are over ten years old.
