Not all of you, no. For the love of all that is good, holy and not M+, no. Stay. Here.
Extremely incorrect. As a man who has created several RP characters and runs (rather, ran) two RP focused guilds in WoW, the exact opposite of what you’ve said here is true. I (and my former guildies from WoW) play FFXIV because of the sheer RP potential in Final Fantasy. We can literally mix our RP with leveling, changing jobs, doing professions, and chasing Fates.
I’m sorry, but WoW cannot compete here. Imagine forming an M+ group in one of your high key things, and two of the players started RPing mid-run and interacting with covenant specific items that are in the current dungeons. You can’t even do that in a normal run. I know RP isn’t for everyone, but even the quick fun stuff in a dungeon is rage inducing for non-RPers.
I was the sole holdout for SL, as I love the Ebon Court and other RP things that were included in SL. However, the vast majority of WoW players HATE this portion of Shadowlands, and they are quite vocal about it. This is probably why none of the RP stuff appears to be getting any love in 9.1. WoW’s ‘endgame’ frenzy has never been my thing, so no matter how much I like SL, I’m kind of in the wind currently. I’ve not done the Ebon Court in a while, and it was my fave thing.
Dude, it’s gaining players in the lull before an expansion. It’s also coming off of Shadowbringers, reviewed as one of the best game expansions ever. FFXIV shouldn’t have much to worry about.
Also, the cat and bunny ‘gurls’ thing is (mostly) a meme. Lot of Sylvanas’ and Jaina’s over there though, no joke. It’s annoying.
