Try typing FFXI into the search box?

All that said, You made references to whats said here, you do realize that the english forums are one of four right? With that in mind, you are claiming at best to make your absolute unfact based assumption on comments made by 1/4 of the forums base ..............interesting.
Really just want to fight this, don't you? You took a statement "Majority of FFXIV players have played FFXI." and decided to take it to the next step. Must be bored, but hey, I am responding, doesn't make me much better, does it?

Anyways, what really makes you think that these people making WoW references have not also played FFXI? I know I have played both. Then you would say "You don't represent everyone.". This isn't about me, this is a general view of the typical MMO player. The typical MMO player has played or at least tried WoW in their time, the amount who have no played it is small, especially in Japan, who are more based on console play than PC. It is like McDonalds, rather if you have ever eaten there or not, you know they are the top fast food restaurant in the US and know what they serve there. It isn't hard to make a WoW reference when almost every MMO uses it's setup as a template.

It is ignorant on your end if you don't believe that a lot on here are FFXI vets. Guess what? You can search for FFXI in other language topics also. I am sure you will get just as much as you do on the English forums.

I think you are simply trying to make a point for the hell of it, and I am [sarcasm]smart[/sarcasm] for responding back to it. You should stop asking for proof when you already have it, use the search box. Find how many topics are based around WoW's mechanics and FFXI's. Make it a little fun project for you. While you will get a fair amount of topics on WoW's mechanics, I am willing to bet FFXI will succeed.
