Maybe you go fanboying your game on their own forums.
I explained my experience and I have as much right as you do to do so
You’re trying to spread misinformation on a game that I also actively play and your assumption is that I’m just going to ignore that. Do I have better things to do? I absolutely do. That doesn’t change the fact that everything you’ve said in this thread so far is complete and utter misinformation.

Do you read what you write ? I said that for me, the biggest flaw of tFF 14 was the lack of RP, then I proceeded to explain why my RP experience in FF 14 was worse than WoW. At the beginning of my first post it says that it is my opinion.
And then you come in and tell me that my experience ( mine, that you have absolutely no knowledge about because you are not me ) is wrong.
People are allowed to have opinion even if it’s not only praise for your so almighty flawless FF 14
Yeah yeah streamers bad, anything not involving giving BJ’s to Blizzard staff is bad, and you’re probably the only good player ever to play wow.
meanwhile on the other camp,
“FF14 is the bestest in the world, if you take my Recruit-A-Friend link, you can get free stuff and I get more free time on my game. Keep it up and I can play FF14 for a year”
or my favorite
FF14 player: enjoying the game?
Player: ARR story is slag, so I bought a story skip
FF14 Player:
If it’s only a fad than why do you care?
I don’t get why people are so shook by people enjoying another game. It’s the same as when retail people come here and troll about Classic being a fad.
I think they enjoy that they’re getting more clicks. It’s a job to them.
“FF 14 … have no guilds”
“Google FF 14 RP guild”
If you don’t like the game, that’s fine, but blatantly lying about stuff is incredibly silly.

Deeper into the genre. 
I google FF 14 guild when the poster said they existed. From all my time in FF they were called link shells.
Still, not on the level of the RP in WoW, frankly, RPers are better in WoW in my opinion.
If you somehow managed to miss Free Companies, just admit you are not a reliable glimpse into the game. And if you didn’t know what Free Companies are, you have zero concept of how RP Free Companies behave.

I have another idea. These forums are for people who like Wow and want to see it progress.
If you are not able to admit that FF 14 lore is by far weaker than WoW lore ( that has been developped for decades more than FF 14 ) and thus that the WoW RPer are better than the FF ones, then maybe you belong on their boards because you definately cannot recognize the incredible game that is WoW and its player base at their correct value.
The narrative team seem to like dismantling the lore and changing character arcs pretty arbitrarily. Maybe you should aim your Forum Officer’s badge and baton in their direction if you want to preserve decades of lore.

I would say that WoW absolutely has more quantitative lore than 14.
The problem is that Blizzard has no idea what to do with it to make it meaningful or useful.
14 manages to take what is has and focus it well enough for you to give a damn about what happens to the main plot, the supporting NPCs, and your main party (Scions).
Meanwhile in WoW, nobody cares, it’s about the loot and becoming strong; everything else…and I mean EVERYTHING else, is an afterthought.
The journey in WoW is meaningless; any NPCs (like Yrel or Illidan or w/e) are just there for the purposes of the expansion. Once you’re done with the expansion…they’re gone forever and nobody is going to give a rat’s tushie about them later. If Yrel dies? lol nobody cares.
In 14, every adventure you’ve had is with your homies. Your fellow Scions. So no matter what big bad is next, the fun is the journey you go along with em. And you know they got your back. If one of the twins died? I’d be bawling.

These are the off-topic forums. They’re for people who want to discuss games, gaming, and hardware unrelated to WoW.

Man there doesn’t seem to be much hardware discussion anymore though. That is kinda sad to me 
You’ll get a couple weeks or so of New World after FF and then it’ll go back to normal. Online fervors have terribly short attention spans.
As far as 14 hype going away soon…eh…it’s been popping up here every so often over the years since Heavensward. It’s only big now because the big youtubers have been talking about it, and mostly because WoW has kind of fallen flat on it’s butt of late.
I’ve been playing 14 for several years, and WoW since around 2006. WoW historically fails at the journey to endgame, but dominates once you get there.
Conversely, 14 is amazing as a story experience with light multiplayer aspects, but dries up fast once you finish the MSQ.
If you look at 14 as a traditional JRPG with MMO gameplay, it’s great. Every expansion is at least 40+ hours on the x.0 patch to story finale, and every patch is like another DLC. They’re great single player experiences, but with persistence of an MMO that makes acquisition of glams and resources fun. But then when you finish the story…you’re kind of done. There’s little reward to becoming more powerful, because the difficulty doesn’t scale outside of savage, with absolutely no small group content that’s progressively challenging and rewarding like M+. So I tend to fall off quickly.
In WoW however, it’s not really an “MMORPG” in my opinion, at least not anymore. As time has gone by, it’s closer to and closer to the ARPG Diablo at this point, with blasting through the campaign as quickly as possible, and then starting the real game of your quest to become the most powerful x in the universe. When that aspect is executed well (legion, even BFA), then you can get players of various skill levels keep playing for hours on end, and feel great about it.
And that can be very very rewarding, which is why I tend to play it a lot. Well until this expansion anyway. They’re vastly different games with only some basic systems being similar, and I think it’s kind of hilarious to see the constant comparisons between the two on which one is “better”.
I also am amused by the amount of “the 14 community is sooooo much nicer than WoW’s”…which is also untrue because it’s just that the toxicity manifests differently there. Primarily, because of the solo-oriented aspect of the game, interactions are much less often to begin with, and since everyone’s caught up in the story more often than not, people care less about being elitists. Everyone’s just having fun. And then you have savage…where the mentality is much like WoW’s general raider mentality.
Contrasted to WoW, everyone’s already rushed to engame as quickly as possible…and all the content is mostly reliant on others to progress. So naturally you are placed in more group-oriented content, and sooner, which just gives you as the player more opportunities to encounter jerks. If you stuck around the low level stuff and only focused on leveling, you tend to find pockets of casuals who are playing the game in the same fashion as they would in 14, and they seem to be really enjoying their experience.
