Sure? You are just bound and determined to be right in one way or another, huh?

Facts generally make people right, yes, that's how it works.

WoW did win, at least as far as being the MMO king. You are absolutely correct. However, it is self destructing at the moment and has been for some time. FF XIV is poised to pass them by relatively soon, but I don't think it is there yet, though even then it would never reach WoW's numbers when it was in its prime. Still, as it is famously put in WoW..."No king rules forever, my son." The crown will pass to something else eventually, whether or not it's FF XIV. WoW might have broken records and made a big name for itself, but very little of that matters once it has lost its heart and soul and falls into disrepair, which it arguably started doing years ago. All the awards in the world can be tarnished with a bad reputation. I still remember the good times and I will always remember them fondly, but I will be forever salty about what happened to it. Plenty of others no doubt feel the same.

Snip.

Sure, but that's neither here nor there. The intention of both the OP of "Congratulations Square Enix! FF4 surpasses WoW this year. (Source inside)" and the person who wrote the article was to celebrate that FF14 surpassed WoW this year, which as I previously stated, do not see as an achivement to celebrate for the reasons I mentioned.

If you want to you can start a topic about how WoW has lost it's heart and soul and fallen into disrepair and I'd gladly post on that topic about how I'd be surprised if any game could keep their heart and soul and not fall into disrepair after such a long time and who knows how many changes and departures on the dev team, and my thoughts on FFXIV already going down that route with the clear shift on priorities for content development.
