While you are completely correct in the assesment that SE is going to keep things static for as long as possible, you must realise one of WoWs keys to success: Constant change. The game felt new for years with updates and changes to the core foundation. If FFxiv wont change it will be forgotten and die out.

Keeping everything the same is bad in the long run. As mentioned if SB doesnt shake it up, many people will leave. The game is run by casual market, and by not giving new ideas and concepts they will move on to the next game. FFXIV needs to stay fresh, but thats hard when noone wants change. The game has about 200k subs. Thats a lot for an MMORPG in this day and age.

"Oh theres this new tank that uses heavy armor and a two handed sword in the expansion" How many times will that sell? "heavy armor and x weapon" can only work so many times before everone will get sick of it.

I just hope you understand that i want the best for the game, and without risk, we wont come anywhere.

As to WoW being better for me? I have personal reasons for boykotting blizzard. They mocked the european community in their 2014 documentary, and gave rise to the idea that the european forums they abandoned werent as high quality as the American ones. (European accounts cannot discuss with the american users on their forums, interact with devs and similar.)


My train of thought has run of its rails by now. I might return someday this upcoming week. ciao

Non-standard tank pls..
