There's a sliding scale between boring because story, or boring because gameplay. EVERYTHING boils down to these two options. The PRIMARY reason why most poeple enjoy FFXIV over WoW (in my not-so-humble opinion) is because FFXIV actually KNOWS how to tell stories properly, in a way that doesnt feel flat, watered down, or half assed. I tried WoW's equivalent of MSQ, and it didn't feel engaging AT ALL.
