You can always go back and finish BC if you skipped 90% of it by lvling in WoW. It also means that the idea of you being the hero in FFXIV becomes moot, because things then progress regardless of what youre doing.
The bolded part is exactly what these WoW refugees want. They want WoW, but not the WoW run by Blizzard as it is now. They have left that game because they don't like the direction it's going, things the company are doing, etc... and rather than trying to fit into the game they have moved to, they are trying to change this game into being the game they left prior to the changes that caused them to leave.
