I think the fact that people are finding FF14 fun means WoW is dying sounds pretty correct

The game would have to be dying for anyone to think FF14 is good

I have always said I was never going to play FF14 but I downloaded it yesterday. I might change my mind.

I just watched the E3 Square Enix and the chat was filled with people much like the ones here on the forums. People saying negative things about final fantasy and Square as a whole, people complaining and people complaining how the ff and Square community is toxic.
I think in the end and regardless the game, its the players who make or break a game. Player perspective and player voice. But this is just my thought on it.

You’re right, the constant drive for profit over the quality of their products is killing WoW. Albeit slowly but surely.

I believe it’s likely going to be the community and its overly competitive nature that’s guaranteed to be the nail in the Coffin for WoW.

Blizzard is doing a fine job killing WoW on their own.

that’s the idea, my issue is not what you find fun. What I don’t like is when folks use that to shill the other game because they want to see the other game burn

Correct!

WoW’s team making the game with both in game balancing and the lore worse along with poor communication from them is what’s killing WoW.

MMORPG players certainly are dumb about how they play another game for a week, and omg it’s so much better than WoW.

People are way too oblivious to the new car smell.

I’m not dissing FF14, but there’s a big difference between playing it for 1 week and playing it for 6 months. It’s a fun game, but people will be disappointed if they’re expecting something to hold them for as long as WoW did.

so instead of making new posts about this we’re now bringing back old threads? great idea

WoW is the only game I have ever seen where so many players who “hate” the game refuse to leave. When those players are gone then I’ll actually believe there is an issue. Keep hating WoW while handing over your time, money, and effort… lol

96

There’s a case to be made for that.

Alternatively, you can also make the case that FFXIV is virtually the same game now that it was when Heavensward released. It hasn’t changed. Warts and all are still there.

So what changed? Why are people heading over there in droves now? Why not during Legion? BfA?

97

So when no one cares enough anymore to actually air their grievances is the point at which you will believe that those grievances actually exist?

Believe it or not, the vast majority of people you label as “haters” love the game. Probably more than you do. That is why they are invested enough to try to change its course to something they enjoy more - to steer it away from a path that they do not enjoy. They want to love the game more than the game currently allows them to.

I never said I hated WoW. Hell I don’t even dislike WoW. Activision Blizzard is another story however. Since the introduction of WoW Tokens and Blizzard Balance, I haven’t spent any actual money on their products. Not on Game Time or Expansions. Getting the gold for them isn’t exactly time consuming either.

99

I’ve been playing FFXIV for four years. The thing is that both can be played with their patch cycles and both are meant to be played for that patch.

Going between both keeps both fresh. But you are right that people enjoying FFXIV will not kill WoW. Because people have been playing other games and coming back to WoW for years.

WoW’s problems are all it’s own and will be with or without other games.

If you’re buying the tokens with gold, you’re just enabling the practice for those buying them for money. You are still supporting them just as much - you just get the benefit of adding the “indirect” adjective to that support.
