FFXIV has some serious competition with WoW: Legion

[Taika]

WoW expansions may form a competition with FFXIV for players who are already playing WoW, but I don't see them competing with FFXIV for new players. I only recently tried WoW for the first time with my partner. We played for 2 weeks, kept leveling up and hoping to see something that would make the game worth playing. In the end we noticed we were always just waiting for the "next thing" (expansion content, dungeons, areas, unlocking raid finder just to see there were no raid we could even do) to be something better, but from a newbie perspective at least it was all just one boring quest or dungeon after another. We didn't find the world interesting or explorable at all and the dungeons were just about running after a tank and rushing through stuff. The battle system was overly simplified (especially compared to FFXIV) and there were practically no mechanics. I guess there's a story somewhere in there, but with the current leveling speed we were just rushing from one thing to another.

After 2 weeks at level 94 we just felt that we should stop looking forward to something that probably isn't going to be there (for us, that is). I guess the actual game there is in the newest expansion content?
