Yeah, I guess this might be my issue. I've been around awhile, and I think at this point it might be getting on my nerves a bit. I've probably played more WoW than I have FF XIV over the last 6 months, and I haven't been playing WoW very much either, though that is largely because BfA is a horrible expansion so my focus has largely been on old content collecting things. Thankfully it will be over in just under a month. I think if I had a reason to go back to old content and roflstomp my way through it for gear/mounts/etc like I can in WoW (Legacy mode) I would probably be a bit happier with the state of this game. But I can't, sadly, at least not to the extent I can in WoW. Even still, my opinion on Shadowbringers would probably remain unchanged even if I was able to do all of that. I got my dream job and a good story, but...that's basically it. I'm not saying I'm unhappy with those, because I'm not. Those are great! An expansion just needs more content, and SE has struggled with this for awhile.

I think WoW would generally take more of your time since you need a character for each class you want to play. But comparatively speaking, for the types of content that I do, it's generally less than FFXIV since WoW really only has one type of daily that I would actively do (world quest, though Shadowlands might change that). Normal/heroic dungeon dailies are not as fun, profitable (loot RNG), or necessary with scaling. So the only instance content that I look forward to doing is LFR which is more of a weekly thing and I spend a long time just queueing as a DPS or waiting on tanks when the tank inevitably leaves mid run. Interestingly enough, I can't find the motivation to run old raids as a recurring content to do. I recently did one wing of Legion LFR to get a leather chest for my rogue and got it the first clear and stopped. I was surprised too at how much money that one run gave me, and I heard it will be nerfed in Shadowlands, but still not worth the effort for me, especially for higher tiers where you have to manually go to the entrance.

That said, as I have been preparing for Shadowlands, I do have more things to do on my alts right now, but I don't even touch my main unless I'm just sending it some transmog appearance to add to the collection.

(I'll be so sad if WoW's prepatch will be on the same date as 5.35 because I want to focus on one game for like a week.)
