The problem with Wow is that it is too experimental, many systems are totally deleted or changed between expansions and many progression systems do not last more than 2 expansions causing many ideas to end up being complete garbage or end up being a genius.
Many Wow players have stayed in FFXIV because the equipment system is very similar to that of Wotlk / Cata with a system of points or medals to buy equipment, a system that I love and that I totally prefer the one created in Legion.
