Finally tried WoW

This makes me feel like you didn't actually play the game.

If you have that much dis-taste for FFXIV, maybe it's just time for you to move on.

FFXIV does a lot far superior to that of WoW. I would know, I played WoW for over 15 years. WoW is far from what is used to be. WoW today is nothing like the game that most people fell in love with. If they would have done what FFXIV has done (Update the game, make it feel current, but leave the base recipe alone) I'd most likely still be playing WoW today.

If you look at classic vs retail. The two games share the same name, but they are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT games. When WoW completely redesigned itself with WoD, they went from having 10 million+ active subs to 5 million active subs in less than 6 months. This drop is sub count is literally what made Blizzard stop report sub counts to the public.

Don't get me wrong, FFXIV is far from perfect. The devs need to stop adding new systems and go back and update systems they have in place. It seems like the devs create a system, just to never touch it again. Many of the FFXIV systems are the same from 10 years ago with little to no updates. This is what they need to do. They don't need to completely overhaul the game to make it completely something different.

LMAO the open world is basically a waiting room and the majority would agree..

When 14 was remade Yoshida asked the devs to go play WoW and other mmos they need to do this again...
