whats wrong with wow?

The fact that you don't enjoy or prefer something doesn't mean everyone doesn't, or even the majority. Most final fantasy players enjoy storylines, that's why they play FF in the first place, and that's obviously one of the main "rewards" a final fantasy game does and should offer.

Not to get involved further involved in this argument, but basically this.

In fact, many Final Fantasy fans would say that if you're not playing an FF game for the story, then you're doing it wrong.

Not to say the game shouldn't have any other saving graces, especially for the sake of replayability, but Final Fantasy has always(well, save the NES versions) had very character-focused narratives.

Which is, by the way, one of my main gripes about FFXIV. WHile the BACKstory has a lot of potential (for sure much more of that half-baked, half-copied childish and fruity excuse for a fantasy world that's Azeroth), the story we've seen so far just scratches the very surface, doesn't even get near putting the player in deep contact with the "villains" (the garlean empire, let alone the dragons). Basically it gives the impression that we're just playing a prologue, and unfortunately that's not enough to support a Final Fantasy game.
