Can we stop comparing the two at this point?

its nice WoW forums devote space for free advertising for FF XIV

They have had many flips through the years as to story direction, and really, direction is non existent. It may have been around for 15 years but it shows its age. I have played it through its life, and personally, prefer FF XIV far more. If they want to talk about FF XIV, they should, its superior is direction and story. gear in FF XIV is a progression, you dont grind out something thats central to a whole expansion only to have it virtually disappear appear after.

but, people play games for different reasons, and I just havent found WoW fun or interesting for years. FF XIV has not disappointed me.

There is no comparison aside from they are both games. Some people just need to justify their time I guess.

No one talks about FFxiv over on the Blizzard forums; and for the odd post that does talk about XIV, you have another five posts on this forum who start talking about it or its players, or the players that they think come from WoW because they want to accuse them of being toxic.
WoW lives rent free in the mind of the zealous XIV defenders who seem to need to defend the game from people who aren't out to get them.
