Wow also has a much higher subscription cost. The outlay for the game is much higher also.

And as for the higher player base. This is a factor that makes things cheaper. More players doesn't mean higher costs, it means that you can buy in a larger quantity. While at the same time taking ever increasing subscriptions.
You know WoW is responsible for the overwhelming majority of the positive changes that were made between 1.0 and ARR, right? It's no secret that WoW and FFXIV have been copying each other's homework for a while now.
