NOTE: It seems that I lost control of the music a bit on this one. My apologies!
World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV are two of my favorite games and while I think both should maintain their own identity, I also feel that each can learn from the other. I’ve learned a lot playing Final Fantasy XIV and it’s changed my perspective on a lot of things.

I've played both. looking forward to going back to an older mmo called FFXI.
I play both, and despite its glaring flaws I prefer WoW for many reasons. FFXIV does many things better though that's for sure, and WoW should totally steal their better ideas and vice versa. I agree that WoW wastes your time, but what I consider time wasting is more making me farm the same shit over and over and over again for the sake of "engagement". I actually like the flight paths (not the Oribos one though lol), even if I go afk I still find it immersive, it makes the world feel big. I'd take flight paths over FFXIV's incessant teleporting any day.
XIV isnt against modding, its against cheating with third party addons, doing things the game was never meant to do so you can get an unfair advantage. As for WoW, its utterly destroyed the raiding scene where people require you to download a dozen different addons just to walk through the raid portal in their group, and Blizzard has stated they design encounters specifically to try and combat addons, which is futile effort. this has also diminished the skill of the average WoW player to the point that if you took the average player into a raid or dungeon encounter without an addon screaming at them to move, they wouldnt know what to do with themselves. things like healbot for example. combat addons are a crutch.
