I disagree. I wouldn't say any MMO on the market is 'superior in every way' at the moment. There's things some do better than others, certainly, but for the most part it comes down to personal preference and subjectivity.

Blizzard may have badly mishandled WoW over the years for various reasons but at its height it maintained ten million active subscribers. Has FFXIV even reached half of that? A quarter?

I think if people don't want FFXIV to go in the same direction as WoW then they should not be stifling criticism at every turn or praising the development team in such a way as to pretend as if everything they do is the best thing ever. That's exactly the attitude that contributed heavily to WoW's fall from grace. Not the only reason by any means but still worth noting.
