I mean its apples to oranges...different genres altogether in some cases, they played other games cause it was a busy month it doesn't mean 14 is bad in comparison that's pure hyperbole on your part lol. Either way like someone else put unless this holds water long term it doesn't really imply much....if these drops concern you go forbid other games. I feel sorry for WoW players then when they were halfway in shadowlands the sky must have been falling but yet here we are.

You are very much correct. They are indeed different genres, and it is well-known that the entire MMO genre is in decline. Quite sadly, FF14 is simply one of the better options in a pile of garbage.
