Lack of pve content

[Ronduwil]

Personally I'm hoping that the recent influx of WoW refugees will increase the volume of the demand for more PvE and PvP content.

As a WoW refugee, I don't think it will. I don't switch from the steak house to the vegetarian restaurant in the hope of getting them to serve me filet mignon. I left WoW and switched exclusively to this game precisely because it was providing all the stuff that WoW lacks. I don't want this game to change to cater more heavily to the content that I fled to begin with!

...and I left WoW years ago, back in 2013 when I tired of the game's direction and wanted to embrace something fresh. I don't hate the game, though. There's still elements I think it does better than FFXIV just like how there's things I think FFXIV does better than WoW.

MMO's, by their very nature, are designed to appeal to a broad variety of players. There's types of content I don't particularly enjoy. Sometimes I'll push through it for the sake of the rewards on offer. Other times I'll just avoid it entirely. I'm sure such an approach could be taken by those who dislike competitive content or any other type of content introduced into FFXIV.
