How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

I don't think FFXIV will ever actually BE competitive in raiding, let alone "stay".

Everquest 1, though I know you are wanting me to say FFXI so yes FFXI's endgame was vastly superior to WoW's. Even Vanguard's APW and early overland encounters were better than 99% of WoW's endgame encounters.

AQ40? Really? It's sad that is your best example of a difficult encounter in WoW. I'm pretty sure a few million people got through it just fine and yet it is still that much harder than everything that has come out since 2006. All WoW's endgame seemed to have that people point out as "hard" are stupid gimmicky environmental hazards. Which is about all they can do to inject difficulty because their encounter/battle mechanics in that game are so simple.

Easy WoW raid boss = Don't stand in the stuff
Normal WoW raid boss = Don't stand in the big stuff
Hard WoW raid boss = Don't stand in the big stuff that the dragon spits at you

why is that sad? He was impossible to kill untill they nurfed him. It may not be the best example but its my favorite. Everything got easier BC onwards, i quit early BC cuz i hated it. Why you hating?
