It's almost like WoW is made for people that actually want to do content, and not focused on leveling/MSQ like FFXIV is, I know I know, it's crazy that there actually is content in a game, since you are so used to FFXIV and the 2 days of content once every 6 months, but some games actually do focus on content and not questing and leveling.

Most zones being dead equates to a game for people "wanting to do content"? By the way, FFXIV has a mountain of content - just because you personally may not enjoy that content doesn't make it any less real.

Yet over the course of the last few years, FFXIV's supposed 'story driven' experience has been rife with outright retcons and large swathes of the setting being hastily cast aside in order to make way for the premise of 7.0 which is shaping up to take us far away from the three great continents.

There's an enormous difference between retcons (which are virtually inevitable in any long-running series) and utterly disjointed questing that can have you effectively time traveling (not for plot purposes) with no clue what's going on. Not to mention at least FFXIV just has a few retcons about the sundering...WoW has entire re-writes of plot and geography.

Yes, zones are dead because... people are doing end game content which is instanced, no way ? What's next ? The sky is blue ? As I said, WoW aint like FFXIV, people in WoW actually spend their time doing m+, raids or other instanced content, not MSQ and RP 24 7 or hang out in main city afk all day, WoW has people playing for the content, not to be a social hangout all day long.

As for mountain of content, you keep coping there bud, you've been coping for months already with your responses, it aint worth to even try to change your mind.

You can compare PF and WoW's group finder, it's night and day the amount of parties every day, even during content droughts.

XIV does have a mountain of content.

If you have not played the game before.

All of this 'mountain' of content you refer to, is stuff that active players did on patch, years ago, when it was actually considered content.
