7.1 - More Wuk Lamat

[AnimaAnimus]

The day after is when WoW will have important announcements. If 7.1 turns out to be a lot of Wuk Lamat, and Blizzard decided to treat WoW better and increase the player satisfaction. FFXIV could easily get a strong hit in the immediate future.

I have been with FFXI since 2005 and FFXIV since 2010, never once giving WoW and real thought. During the EW lull I finally tried WoW and Dragonflight was not bad at all but I always intended to put it on the back burner when DT released. Then came DT which was such a massive let down both in story and in the sheer lack of anything to do for 4 months which gave us nearly a full year or diddly to really do in FFXIV. TWW then released and man has it been a fantastic experience compared to DT. Everything from the story to the content we got in TWW has been a blast and for the first time FFXIV is on the back burner for WoW, who's future seems much more bright right now. Something I never in my life thought I would say. Even the graphics of WoW grew on me.

I still think if some ppl could get over themselves and try WoW, like I finally did, FFXIV would be in a lot more trouble than it currently is. Imo they are surviving right now on fans who just refuse to look elsewhere for whatever reason.

Edit to add that even the WoW community surprised me. I always had really bad idea of the typical WoW player, but this past year has dispelled many of those thoughts. The players I have encountered have been amazing and much better than those I have had in FFXIV. It really was shocking to see how much more friendly, welcoming and helpful the WoW community has been over the FFXIV community.
