World of Warcraft died because the developers only catered to casuals and world prog

[Snowdove]

This tells me the know exactly who WoW devs caters too (pvp and raiding hardcore crowds) and they know this , resulting in :

you got baited as was intended

more dots!

On the contrary, there are people who actually think like the OP. Go read the WoW forums if you want proof.

From an outside observation, it just looks like WOW sounds like it's another XEROX while FF14 is designed for a more modern market that made concessions to the needs of an older consumer base with less free time and the large number of an untapped solo playing market. The only issues are currently like: mid-core content, a lack of a skill-based (individual and group) PVP, and explorer unfriendly designs or minimal internally-designed explorer content that regularly is glossed over because it's fetch quest-chains instead of story, or structures designed for achievers. Though, the spaghetti code is most likely going to be a reason for a major push to just replace it with a new game in the long term as the designs for such content need to be designed at an earlier period or it's not cost or time effective to do so

I will admit I found the joke about the WoW devs actually caring about any part of their player base (or that there are people dumb enough to still believe they do) pretty funny

a crumb of midcore content please

The majority of this games player base is Casual and has been since ARR launched. I've been around long enough to know this for an absolute fact.

Does the cookbook has any egg recipe?

Yes, it does. There's a whole chapter on breakfasts alone plus a couple egg related recipes in other chapters.

You're welcome. :^)

Everything has an end. Someday FFXIV will be replaced by something as well. It won't be anytime soon. But it will happen someday.

As long as people have emotions, this game is going to thrive. Just because of the story. Emotions causes attachment. And attachment causes people to stick to the game. (Also is the reason why it is hard to criticize the game due to the backlash of this)

Even ultimates are easy. I don't feel any difficulty in the game at all anymore. I can see everything getting dumped down by this trend in raid difficulty. I hope someday we can have something higher than ultimates in difficulty and atleast make week 1 dps checks relevant for once, but probably won't see that.

The irony in OP’s post is that WoW is actually dying because it doesn’t cater enough to its casual players. Harder normal raids, too many grindy systems every new patch, not alt friendly… the list goes on.

All WoW devs care about is their Twitter following and likes.
