They would've compared ffxiv to wow if it was released at the same time as wow, but its not the case, and i dont remember anyone in sqex stating that main goal of ffxiv is to beat wow. I dont really see the point in comparing something like viewer count on 2 independent games from one another. What exactly plant farming of usi guy in wow has to do with how ultimates fare in ffxiv?
There isn't any point. That guy is being an obtuse troll trying to goad people into an inane argument for attention. I don't recommend responding to people arguing in bad faith. It's like talking to a wall with a smirking emoji graffiti painted on.
