How does FF14 compare to WoW? (And other MMOs)

[ItMe]

the initial comment i replied to was that raiding does not seem like a good game concept and that it was not seen in single player games. nothing in that comment or my comment was about alienating a player base or a shift in design philosophy.

my point was that that design philosophy most definitely does exist in single player games.

Yes, raiding exists in single player games.
But I think you're reading their comment a little slant.

There are single player games with raiding, but there aren't really single player games all about raiding to the point where it is the games concept. Where it is dedicated to the idea of raiding to the exclusion of other things.
Raiding has its place in single player games (especially in end game content).
Raiding in single player games isn't inherently bad game design.
But are there single player games as raid focused as WoW is? The closest I can think are games that have single player... but still push a multiplayer experience (like Monster Hunter).
As Edax said:

Raiding doesn't seem like a good "game" concept. You don't see single player games dedicated to something so niche.
