Because a lot of those players got caught up in the moment of "blizzard devs bad, boycott", and that just didn't last. They weren't looking for new games, they were looking for wow but not blizzard.





Turning XIV into wow to keep the wow players would have likely alienated people who play XIV because they enjoy it and don't want to play wow.
