You can't compare those games to FF14 they're different in a lot of aspects, however using the same items for 5-10 years and stacking them? That means people have to use the same items from the same content over and over and farm them? That sounds counter intuitive to me, yes we don't have flashy/strong effects on items or armor sets like in WoW, EQ2, having those would mean this game with all the balancing it does would be very imbalanced in a game with horizontal progression. I know you stated before your character doesn't Feel strong which people can agree or disagree on, from my own opinion I don't feel as tanky as I should as a tank but that's the meta.

If I wanted to play the same game and use the same items over and over again I'd go play a private server like a WoW 1.12 or 2.4.3 that has patches that accomodate people that want to relive that timeline in the games history and farm the same content on alts that never changes.
