What's even the point of doing savage?

Covenants, differing endings, invasions, blue phantoms, later on purple phantoms, build variety, etc. These are all things that contribute to Dark Souls replayability while none of that exists here.

What's the point of any of that then?
Could it be fuuuuuuunnnn?

Build variety in Souls games tho, lel.
I think a more accurate way of saying is it intentionally gimping yourself for the lulz.
Souls games generally have a handful of OP stuff.

FFXIV doesn't have '' replayability '' because it's a MMO, it has ongoing content.
There's nothing stopping you from doing PvP, PoTD, Eureka or Bozja, hanging out with friends, doing fate farms for glam etc, farming Extremes for mounts ( including old Savage and Extreme content too ), leveling new Jobs and experiencing the story content maybe NG+ if you skipped it before, Relic farm, professions etc etc.

Nah, warhammer online wasn't like that. You could have a social life while playing warhammer online, but you also been rewarded for your fight and the useful gear you loot helped you killing the other faction and taking their castle and capital. Twas fun

You can have a social life while playing FFXIV too, FFXIV is very respectful of your time.
Savage really isn't that impossible to clear either even through PF in a reasonable time.
And getting reclears doesn't rly take long most of the time, I usually do it in one sitting.

I'd also like to remind you that Warhammer Online died, FFXIV has increased in players with every new expansion.
So I think FFXIV is doing something right and that there's certainly quite a lot of people who disagree with you.

Imho I actually think Glam is the most interesting reward.
