Something needs to be done about the empty open world

Atleast WoW utilizes their latest expansion zones properly with world quests and world bosses that drop artifact power, gear, weapons, etc.

That is true.
But it only stays like that for the duration of said expansion.
But what about the older expansions and those zones?
I always had this sad feeling when going through older zones and how lifeless they feel.
I enjoy MMOs for different reasons.
FFXIV to me is more of an End Game MMO where I can grow stronger doing the latest stuff and collect more powerful gear.
(I ofc enjoy the story. but talking about when that bit is over and one)
Where in ESO I play more for the freedom and the feeling of a living world and the adventure of just running around doing whatever catches my interest without having a real plan.

There are good sides and bad sides in every game, MMO or not.
One just gotta find ways to accept things as they are and do the most out of it.
No game is perfect and those who can enjoy games the most are those that can accept that fact and still find ways to enjoy it.
At least that's how I see it.

I'm happy that ESO doesn't require a sub so I don't feel pressured into keeping playing 2 MMOs at the same time or else I waste sub money.
