Let’s say they kicked it into high gear and vomited out and extra zone for Bozja in 7.0 and maybe a second deep dungeon, not much work in the grand scheme of things but something that might have encouraged even 20% of the WOW refugees to stay with zero negative effects on the current playerbase

If you are in an industry and a competitor dumps their customers into your lap you don’t ignore them because they have slightly different tastes, you attempt to permanently onboard them without affecting your core market, 14 didn’t even try, it basically just sat there and said “we are changing nothing if you aren’t interested you can go away”
You CANT onboard them while retaining your current core when the game operates differently fundamentally. When the playerbases are looking for entirely different things. Why waste time trying and risking your core when you already know what they look for in a game? They don't have to change shizz for WoW folks. I guarantee you WoW ain't changing a damn thing if XIV players went over there.

Also you talk as if CBU3 is this massive team on xiv. News Flash it's not, and is why or patch cycle is the length it is rn. They have a whole 7.0 to focus on. I'd rather they make sure that is good than stretch themselves out for a CHANCE to appease the WoW crowd.
