They can be compared perfectly because even though they are totally old, FFXI continues to update with PVE content to this day, even when the story ended in 2015 the game continues to update with PVE content and when they tried to do something different like PVP it was a failure tremendous.

Wow also has that focus and it is a matter of seeing the constant updates and what they focus on when developing. As for example in PSO2 some updates of the game only focused on giving more social aspects to the players, in which the players feel at home and that they can change of scene more easily with the absurd amount of cosmetics. That is why when New Genesis was announced, one of the important aspects that they announced was what would happen with cosmetics and emotes.
