Does WoW have a faster pace than FFXIV?

[Nedkel]

The APM are on average a lot higher, but the amount of skills in rotation and the mechanics are nothing in comparison to ffxiv and its speed is caused mainly by CD being 1 sec instead of 2.5s.
There are a lot of actions executed per minute like 40-80 (comparing to 30-48 in FFXIV) but most of it is made with few skills, where in ffxiv you have a lot better distribution between more numerous skills.

In short, WoW combat is a lot faster but it is also a lot simplier and based on spamming mindlessly few same buttons, where in FFXIV you have a ton more skills and mechanics to execute, making FFXIV combat more diverse in comparison.

FFXIV combat is a lot better, its slower but its busier and more thinking is involved in it than just spamming few skills all the time mindlessly, do not listen to the wow heads who are denying facts, i was sleeping playing that game even with console controller, its boring as hell.
