i only payed for wow for 6months, only played for 2months. it was on burning crusade exp. at the time. the zones felt empty by that time, few people i'd run into probably were people leveling second+ toons cause i'd never see them again. i couldn't make it to end game b4 staying with ffxi. as i played it ffxi stared at me and called to me everyday lol.

i did play warhammer for a good 2years though, them dungeons were a joke to me. (is why i'm worried that ffxiv endgame sticks with this 4-8man party for dungeons) but that game had pvp to make up for it, least at start then pvp was shit too.

also weather most of u wow players have played wow for very long time, i picture any clans/guilds a group of peoples, people that jump around on mmo's alot. get bored quick and quit and run to the next mmo to play threw. and in that, if i've picked my mmo it's probably gonna last for 5+ years like it did in ffxi. want to stay it's hole life cycle. i've been in a clan b4 and they go threw mmo's like they were m&m's. they like walmarts, build and then abandon for it to die.

besides if a mmo can't afford cutsceens and real story mains, and seperate story with there grind i really don't want anything to do with it, less i'm there for there pvp. pve with these types of game play can eat me. i want to feel like i'm playing a rpg with shit loads of other players, and that is mostly the story for me. i hate reading boxes, i find i played 2years of warhammer and like 6toons to max and had not real feel of any story. i knew the basics but that is bout it, never read the boxes. i think what i knew was from the months prior to it's launch lol. same goes for the 2months in wow, i can't recall a thing from it, where as i can almost recall half or more of the ffxi missions and even the side quests. (lots of them and lot were memorable enough to remember)

don't know enough bout wow in any other way to make any judgments, maybe if i played it from launch i'd like it. but i hear most that did at launch don't now so that says something. i can say not a mmo i've played has topped ffxi yet. i was hoping for ffxiv to be the one but they going more wow/casual then i'm ever gonna be able to enjoy i think.
