I think it's also important that people remember XI has had 11 years to flesh out its world and tell stories within in. XIV not so much, especially when much of the original story had to be scrapped for the whole Dalamud thing and the coming of 2.0. There's still a lot more that can be explored, we just need to wait and experience it when new content gets added.

This I incredibly agree with. I got so mad at WoW's story around the time of Cataclysm's last patch, due to the plot holes created in the narrative and the utter ruination of the Jaina Proudmore character (not helped any by the off-screen plot-death of Cairn Bloodhoof and Blizzard all but pretending the Draenei and Worgen, my two favorite races, never existed outside of their starting zones), that I quit the game. The story was bad, has only gotten worse (Garrosh Hellscream needs to be hurled into the nearest sun), and I just can't take anything they do seriously anymore.

And above all else, SE's MMOs made me the hero, the central character of the narrative. In WoW, you're the nameless adventurer that only helps the important NPCs, who get all the credit for the work you actually do.
