    It's the same reason why Overwatch's director is literally begging to add one of the OW characters to Smash Bros, for a popularity boost in exchange of nothing for Nintendo.
    The only reason why WoW would like to have a crossover event with FFXIV would be to desperately attract a handful of subs from the FFXIV playerbase to theirs. FFXIV's gain would be nearly null since everyone who already played WoW and got tired with it are already playing FFXIV.

    That street hasn't been quite as one-way as you might think. Many of my old guildies I still speak to on Discord from time to time have taken in an influx of players who tried XIV as their first or second MMO but were disappointed (from reasons varying from poor leveling experience to little use of the open world to awkward tanking/healing paradigms, etc.) and since switched to WoW, be it retail or classic. But, yes, as it would be crossing over to here, WoW would be the one to receive the most benefit, and as they're less far willing to compromise identity in any way with crossovers (or really anything short of perhaps store mounts and bad plot twists?), I doubt it'd be reciprocated, which would make the chance of such a crossover almost null.
