Animosity with World of warcraft players who still like the game?

And FFXI had almost nothing to do with FF XIV, if you ever played this one you would know that.
You guys are the one talking about the universe, you started it to have like dunno an argument ?
The devs talked countless time about how WoW influenced them for this game, that's it that's not debatable the only thing that is debatable here is why it hurts you so much that WoW influenced this game to come up with stupid things like that.
Not that FF XI was a huge hit either to begin with and they did know that.

Uh huh...
I do enjoy a pivot.

WoW was inspired by EQ, and due to WoW becoming so popular it had paved the way for most MMOs to follow the same formula. FFXIV 1.0 was heavily inspired by FFXI considering it was the only other MMO in the main series FF titles that they drew inspiration from, and considering some of the team from FFXI were the ones who worked on FFXIV 1.0, it was inevitable that SquareEnix would build 1.0 the same way but with better graphics, but that failed and with Yoshi-P replacing the lead developer, FFXIV 2.0 was heavily inspired by WoW at the time in order for it to become successful; these are the facts just to clarify.

But I am confused... why did the topic turn to this in the first place anyways? It just seems kind of irrelevant to what the OP had posted.

It comes to that when it hurts ppl to aknowledge the truth so they will come up with anything even barely related to not say it or even worse deny it, which is kinda sad tbf.
But yeah you're totally right with ur post.

Why people waste energy on dislike/hate on people for liking a different game is beyond me and childish.
I like playing wow casually every now and then and play FF11 and FF14 more or less full-time.

If people were to give me a hard-time to liking these games, I don't need you in my life.

I am not sure how people can be so up in arms about a game. Aren't we all here just to have fun?

You don't want to know and correct, it is completely irrelevant to the OP.

Honestly I don't really care what games you enjoy. All I think people really don't like is seeing people from other games coming here and demanding this game be more like the one they left and want the bad features implemented. As much as I would love the Tranzmog journal from WoW in XIV, I understand why it can't be a thing.

So true! It's more the banging on to us about it, most of us tried it and didn't like it, we are here now, not there. If it were so great why are they here? Just enjoy FFXIV and its community and move on with life.

Same goes on wow spaces too. Most of it is full of people talking about how bad wow is and how good xiv is. I'd love to tell those people that if they enjoy their game so much they are wasting time not playing it being over there boasting about it.

No idea, if they are doing that then sure I'd agree. I tried that game before this one, lasted three months and decided it wasn't my cup of tea. But this is where we are, I'm not so bothered about what goes on over there.
