Excessive maintenance is starting to piss off the casual, non-raiding players.

Obviously this isn't GW2, but it doesn't hurt to acknowledge when the competition does things well. Lets not pretend that XIV is the pinnacle for outstanding infrastructure and implementation.

"You can't compare this game to other MMOs because they're not the same" is a very common argument people have.

Like Skivvy said, they're not the same game, obviously. But you can still learn from your competition and see what you can implement into your own game if they themselves have a good idea. Some structures and implementation does overlap, or at least is comprehensive enough for you to convert to your own game.

People wanted Transmog. Well, we don't have that, but we have similar and it can be further improved upon. Hell, it GOT improved, we didn't have a glam dresser.
