Do we want another 10 years of FF14 on this engine?

But... WoW had an engine change in WoD?

I think you are conflating the idea of an engine change and a graphics or engine upgrade.

WOW has never changed engines. It has upgraded the engine.

The graphics engine is still built on the core Warcraft III graphics engine with a couple of changes here and there. The biggest change did come with WOD, but that was a graphical overhaul. They didn't swap out the engine.

The overall engine is the same engine that WOW launched with back in 2004.

Fair, but to say it refused to visually change (which is what they replied to) is incorrect. You can see the differences between Classic and Retail even right now.
