Stopped reading right there. You can play the game for free up to level 20 just like wow. I did.
I do think wow is better but I give 14 credit where credit is due.
Having played Tera I can agree on that. Never could really get into it. It felt too disjointed in ways. Especially the classes. Oh, some were fun. But it felt too disjointed to me. But this was also a few years ago. They might have tweaked things since then.
But when I first started playing it … it was a shock. Because it did things that I wasn’t familiar with. I was used to the “big lion” aka WoW.
Same is true with WoW honestly. Finding a good social guild makes things more bearable. I’m lucky with FFXIV because I am in a FC that’s exactly like this. People are social, friendly and super nice.
It’s been I think 2 months and a half now since I started playing, they’ve been answering my newbie questions as best they could, but I’ve also been looking outside the game to answer my own questions, on top of being a relatively fast learner.
I’ll be honest. I don’t think I’ve spoken two words to any of the five people that log on in my mains guild here.
I joined it when they randomly sent me one of those spam invites months ago and since then 95% of the people seem to have stopped logging in.
In XIV I am in a FC I made myself because I wanted the extra housing plot since player housing is one of my main draws in that game.
Ayup. There’s the game in a nutshell.

Solo FC/two house club. 
Accepted some invites to random FCs when I started the game and hated every minute of it so I just made one by myself to get rid of the constant invites. Couldn’t imagine it any other way.
That can happen to any group. They drift apart. I’ve seen that happen with several WoW Guilds I’ve been in over the years.
Sucks when you find a great group and then they just kind of fizzle for all sorts of reasons.
Well, generally speaking here, but one has the story forefront and integral to the game through and through, and the other has the story as an afterthought, and retcons the story as the need arises.
I’ll let you decide which is which.

It isn’t a terrible game, I spent around 50-60 hours playing it, but I have no need or desire to play it again. It’s really fun to play through questing once or twice though. It’s definitely more of an action RPG than a typical MMORPG. You can solo almost all of the content up to near max level.
Three house club. I have two accounts because I’m mainly focused on crafting and gathering in XIV. It’s basically it’s own game within the game. Lol
Two accounts means I get double hits of unspoiled nodes, and double the daily bonus tomestones for crafting materials.

Wish people could stop comparing anime garbage to WoW and bringing it up in general. If people love it so much that they have to spam the forums with it everyday then go play it already. No one cares.

Oh boy. That’s hardcore FF14.
The last 70 comments say otherwise. Maybe just don’t click on it next time and save yourself the time.

I wish WoW would focus a bit more on crafting

The crafting system, while more fiddly, is lovely.
It feels more like you’re crafting things. The only aspect of crafting I DONT like is how they handle Quality.
That makes crafting far less enjoyable (to me anyway). It’s still a good system, just the way they handle Quality just feels awkward to me.

Or not post this unrelated spam garbage in the first place.
In case you are not aware, you can change the UI scaling of both everything at once, as well as each individual UI component on the screen. This is on top of setting the resolution of the game to match your monitor.
So if you need to, you can make everything larger, but then select that one or two UI components and shrink those back down, if you don’t want them to be larger (for example).

What a coincidence, that’s what we’re all thinking about your comments right now!

I do too. I still haven’t even maxed out my Alchemy on my Resto Druid. It feels pointless once you have rank 3 of the potion/flask you regularly use.
And the market on my mains realm is so flooded that selling materials feels like a waste of time.
