that post is like a thought in my mind soma lol, i didn't really play wow Rabidsquirrel i tried and then i ran back to ffxi after 2months even though i had 6months of paid game. i didnt hate it, but as u say wow servers should be barren ...they were. at least any low level stuff was absolutely barren. i ran into a few players to team up with that ended up being second accounts cause i never see them again. any action lasted seconds b4 was back to empty zones with solo grinding. i never made it to endgame so i can't say for that. but i bet after everyone brainlessly gets threw the too easy content, they then feel like gamers as they log in 2times a week for 4hours to listen to a group of players tell them how to win at endgame. wow did so well cause theres alot of noobs paying for accounts and gold, for every real player in that game there is probably 3 rmt in the game.

that game became a blackhole, and other mmo's are just a planet. and i probably can say it got lucky is all. and with that it is ruining all other mmo's trying to copy it. but enough with that i probably derailing the topic that this thread is about and is why ffxiv is still failing even though they keep fixing shit.
