This is like saying leveling dungeons is all you do in WoW.
Community, dev team, story delivery, Yoshi P, combat is good, gameplay, golden saucer, card game, some other things. All WoW has is combat which is ok but most rotations are very boring and stale. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE CARE SO MUCH IF PEOPLE ARE QUITTING THE GAME TO GO PLAY ANOTHER MMO, I also don’t understand why people feel the need to constantly defend “ the greatest” mmo of all time constantly on the forums.

The fact that you guys keep telling yourself that X is better than Y tells me that you’re upset about this game.

Apparently this FFXIV youtuber says you gotta “weave” your off GCD abilities and that makes FFXIV better because WoW “doesn’t have off GCDs.” Oh and when he’s showing off the rotation it ends after one round of off GCDs. Because if he showed more than one round, he’d still be sitting there for 2 seconds between key presses while he waits for 30+ second long cooldowns.

APM for Ninja (FF14) and Fury warrior / Assassination rogue with >20% haste are about the same depending on the patch. If you want faster combat, pick a job with more Off GCD rotations. It’s that simple.
FF14 doesn’t care about PvP, but maybe that’s changing since they are revamping it in a few months?
Shots fired
while ff14 tab targeting combat and abilities are enjoyable and fulfilling, it bothers me that there is only one optimal rotation without room for improvement. you either follow it or you lose dps. it might look sexy but it gets shallow
If your focus is PvP, FFXIV is not for you.
If you want hardcore competition, FFXIV is not for you.
If you want systems within systems, FFXIV is not for you.
If you want to be an elitist and show off your epeen, FFXIV is not for you.
If gaming is a job to be taken seriously, FFXIV is not for you.
If you want a great story, FFXIV is for you.
If you want a great community, FFXIV is for you.
If you want to have fun playing a game, FFXIV is for you.

Pretty much the same for every game barring situational reactions, defensives, interupts, bursts, etc
Both FF14 and WoW have raid logs. You can compare the APM of classes and jobs. Gunbreaker has about the same APM as an Unholy DK (again, depending on the patch).
Look guys, it’s really simple. 1 game has about a 1-1.4 second GCD with most abilities ON GCD. The other game has about a 2-2.4 second GCD with most (depending on job) abilities OFF GCD. They average out to be similar at end game.
No /10 characters.
The logs disprove what you are saying so i guess it’s all a conspiracy theory and the whole internet is behind it.
I wouldn’t say superior just different. I personally love that I don’t have people breathing down my neck because I didn’t do X over Y exactly the way they see a spec and class should.
The GCD can be a turn off for people but I personally find it just a different experience. FFXIV is a lot more active combat style.
I would love to see how people react to the WoW combat while not having 6 Addons to help to do rotations. I mean if you hand is constantly being held by Addons how great can the combat be? Is it smooth?? Very much but is it boring?? Depends on spec, but most specs are I fact very boring in my opinion.

Oh this tired argument. Who cares who made the help. FFXIV has the same tools just not as an addon.
Well, I think both have advantages over the other, but I don’t do PvP. I consider anyone who does PvP with Blizzard’s balance record to be respectable because, man…
So for me, FF’s non existant PvP is possibly even better because that means no class ends up nerfed due to a group screaming “Nerf X class!”.
And that is fine.
Play Bard.
As a Bard main, I can tell you, that the only thing you keep rotating are the 3 songs. Bard has a lot of procs and doesn’t have a set rotation that it just plows through.
This just isn’t true (though yes, boss fights are VERY mechanic heavy). Most jobs I’d wager have higher APM than WoW, with double-weaving oGCDs. And ninja and monk are like lightning.
