    A healer from WoW can heal a whole FFXIV raid while sleeping.

    FF fight is boring, I mean, who wants to watch a stream of this game... You put it on Twitch and even the bots avoids it.

    That's what happens when the most interesting part of it ends up being making an Instagram or trying on outfits.

    Look Methods world first and Alexander Ultimate... You want facts?, all for ya.
    But healers in WoW are even worse, you spam same 3-4 buttons over and over and over and over, healers in WoW have bot gameplay, someone is low on HP oh heal, someone is low on hp > heal, and you dont even dps as a healer, you could cover your entire screen with healers mod and do your job by pressing same few skills.
    Blizzard simplified classes in the last patch taking away a lot of "oGCD" abilities making them "GCD", a lot of classes literally feels like FFXIV BLM where you only use GCD one after another, there is little to no weaving involved into the gameplay and mechanics they all come down to "use this, then this, if proc use this" and thats literally it. The rotations and openers are waaay bigger in FFXIV. Blizzard has completely screwed over their class design with GCD changes in BFA.
    I played monk windwalker and the opener is 12 steps involving 2x the same skill and two on high cd, compare it to any tank in FFXIV which are considered the least complicated classes and even warrior had bigger opener than "complicated and fun" monk in WoW. The amount of skills you often use in WoW is low low, you are good with like 6-8 skills and all the rest are situational used once or two.

    And yes.. i can safely add in that you've never touched a WoW raid in your life, or mythic+; Those things get hectic and you can't plan out where to move and what to do down to the literal second, nor can you prepare for moves just because the boss just used a specific move. XIV allows you to, even if you don't use something like ACT, the boss fights are a choreographed dance rather than a fight.
    Raiding in WoW has to be random and unpredictable otherwise you would sleep over your desk with the class design this game has. Raids and dungeons design is the only thing that makes WoW still going on, since its better but combat itself is worse than in FFXIV.

    You have few buttons to press all the time instead that are all tied to the GCD.
