Please give WoW a realm reborn treatment and release wow 2.0
Go on Hiatus for 3 years…
Revamp the game… Erase everything from every expansion.
Make the old god wipe our memories and sap our strength…essentially resetting us into Azeroth as level 1’s.
Work on a new engine too…
let BFA be the last terrible bandaid…
The story could work like a realm reborn where we wake up as champions that don’t really know we were such powerful heros at level one in an Azeroth reborn after a war with the old god…
Build on the wow lore without being tied down to old expansions.
It’s such a simple move to work on wow 2…
and you can keep wow 1 as a legacy game like classic…
In addition to this, it ran the risk of tanking the FF brand as a whole. They didn’t do it entirely out of the goodness of their hearts. While I do believe their apologies, let’s not believe for a moment that was the sole, or even major, reason.
Classes pruned and too simple and extremely boring,=
armor system that no one likes and that they’re basically abandoning mid expansion…
constant system limitations that are causing more and more bug issues every day leading to the buggiest expansion to date…which also ties into the graphics engine being so old and out of date that they really can’t do much with it anymore.
big faction imbalance that they are desperately trying to correct…
A realm reborn was a story reboot as much as a technical reboot… I was there for the original FFXIV… it wasn’t unplayable… it was just really bad…
This is the only point that can really be argued, but you have to consider risk vs reward for them. Would they make more money spending money for a new game, or will they make more money by not spending more money and riding this out as long as they can?
