The WoW exodus was some time ago at this point, those players have many options to play other games that aren't XIV. It's not like they had to come here or stay here in a year with quite a few high-profile games coming out to compete for player time and attention. So grats on XIV for attracting players from a competitor, due to the high quality of their game.
The people FFXIV attracted, or at least a certain percentage of them, is basically just venue goers, roleplayers (ERPers too) and the likes, basically people not playing the game, so not a big loss really

Also I didnt say the game is "held up" by whales, I said there are a lot of them, of course there are more people as I just mentioned, thanks to the WoW exodus and people joining naturally as well from other games or wherever they came from
