Finally tried WoW

[Masekase_Hurricane]

After years spent playing Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV since Alpha, I finally decided to give World of Warcraft a proper try—and honestly, it just makes me frustrated with Square Enix.

WoW has so many features that feel like quality-of-life improvements SE should have implemented long ago. Here's what stands out:

1. Unlimited slots on Auction House (seems that way not 100% on this)
   
2. A fully customisable mount
   
3. Minimal loading between areas
   
4. Fun side quests
   
5. Fully voiced campaign replacing your name or skipping it in the dialogue using terms like mate, friend, etc.
   
6. NPCs travelling with you and interacting better, giving you a lift and talking through the journey
   
7. Being able to queue in dungeons as all specialisations you are able to do on that job (i.e. for WAR: tank and DPS)
   
8. Dungeons that you have quests in, with the ability to gather and collect gear
   
9. Being able to talk to NPCs without getting off your mount
   
10. Being able to gather without getting off your mount
    
11. You feel like an adventurer in the open world again
    
12. Timewalking is so much better than XIV's version of redoing past storylines
    
13. The glamour system is far superior
    
14. Not repeating storyline on alts (as long as you have finished the story on main)
    
15. A free level jump with an expansion
    
16. If inventory is full and you didn’t collect drops, they are mailed to you
    
17. Carrying things on your mount for fetch quests i.e hold an egg..
    
18. Can be aggroed in air, water and on land.

I’m still playing XIV for now, but my patience is wearing thin. When a 20+ year-old game makes all your long-standing frustrations seem easily solvable, it’s hard not to question how much longer I’ll stick around. That's just things I can remember there's so much more...

p.s Trying it with 3 friends who are also long time players, but hey ho Yoshida says play other games....
