I think you maybe understand sandbox, where there is no clear path, and it's largely just an interaction between players in a particular setting (think EVE)

But Themepark is called themepark because there are a WIDE VARIETY of activities to do, like a themepark!

-you can ride the rollercoasters
-you can play the games
-you can see the shows
-you can go eat fancy food

Like Disneyland, it has different areas meant to cater to different tastes.

Thus, it makes no sense to tell people they are doing something wrong when they choose an area of the game to focus on when they find it enjoyable.

You are doing the equivalent of telling someone only the roller coasters matter at a theme park, the rest of the park is worthless.

That may be your opinion, but the Themepark isn't set up that way - it sets up to cater to a wide variety of tastes and interests.

Raids represents one area of the themepark, and if you want more raids, say you want more raids, but saying it means there's no end game is disingenuous.

And where exactly do I argue against that? Please get over yourself I am not misinterpreting the definition of either. Also I did not give the definition of anything, nor am I making the claims that you are asserting. The poster I replied to claimed that endgame of wow is set by the developers and FFXIV isn't, which by both titles being theme park MMO's is a completely ludicrous assertion to make, How the hell is FFXIV's endgame more "set by the player" then WoW's when both have the similar endgame structure, being that they are theme park MMO's?

"You are doing the equivalent of telling someone only the roller coasters matter at a theme park, the rest of the park is worthless"



And when exactly did I say anything of the like?
