That's is not going to happen, I afraid, especially If you know how much yearly revenue BDO has make compared to FFXIV, it's like comparing a boulder to a pebble.

If you are a corporate that want to develop a MMORPG to make money, would you invest a tons of money to develop a MMORPGs just overthrow FFXIV for it's dogwater yearly revenue?
Or invest a ton of money to develop a MMORPG that is good enough to compete with BDO in hope getting at least half of BDO yearly revenue?

One of the reason why SQEX is reluctant to increase CBU3's budget by a ton to develop a better FFXIV that could possibly overthrow WoW, because the amount of increased yearly revenue for dethrone WoW's spot for being No.1 MMORPG is never good enough to justify the cost and tremendous increased budget of FFXIV.
