Correct. I'm an "altoholic" so to speak in that regard, which does help increase my overall playtime. They also give people plenty of reasons to level/play alts. I'm currently unsubbed from WoW while I wait for the pre-patch, otherwise I might be logging in a couple times a week to do something. Being able to do everything on one character in FF XIV is nice, but there's little reason to level an alt at all for most people.

Yeah, but if WoW ever allows me to use one character to play all classes, I'd take that option. It bothers me that I skip many things on my alts, but I just don't want to redo the same quests again unless I have no choice in order to unlock certain features. And so, it might be strange for some people, but I like that MSQ is required in FFXIV and that I have to pay if I don't want to do it up to the current expansion, because it means I don't have to redo the quests but also means my character did not skip them as they're not optional. It's psychologically satisfying.

As far as quests and the main story goes, WoW and FF XIV are 2 completely different beasts. In WoW the story or stories are segmented and I'd argue that everything is optional eventually prior to the most current expansion, though most content is still there for those who want to unlock it. I like how FF XIV handles the MSQ and such so you aren't alone. But again, the 2 games handle it differently and I like both for different reasons.

Yeah, I'm ok with how WoW does its quests only because you need multiple characters to enjoy all the various classes. I don't think I'll enjoy paying for MSQ skip for 6 characters in FFXIV (as I only level 7 jobs currently). Still, I do wish I can focus on one character regardless.
