I have a 90 of every class I don't have a 100 of. I did preorder Legion and I am planning on playing it when it drops. I've played that game since closed beta vanilla and I'll probably see it through til the end. The global cooldown on FF sucks for sure. WoW's got that over FF but ..going through the world and seeing stuff that's 10 years old also makes me squint. I'm forever going to be upset that they'll never update some of my favorite mount models. Particularly the low lvl brewfest ram that horde can ride.
The nail in the coffin for WoW, for me, was in Cata when they introduced LFR. I raid hard, I get gear. People raid minimal, they get recolored gear that looks pretty much just like mine. I've been told that LFR might be on its way out come Legion though. We'll see.
Well, if you raid that much, then you understand what I'm saying. The sync issues in FFXIV combined with the ridiculous GCD are incredibly irritating. I just feel that combat is smoother due to both issues. But, of course FF is "prettier" in combat graphics and in things like models/armor looks.
But I can die from jumping off things in WoW. In fact, I can inadvertently kill myself by falling off cliffs, etc. That doesn't happen in FF, which is kind of a bummer. Why can't I throw myself off my FC house's back fence into oblivion?
Also, I miss exploration. There isn't a whole lot of that in FF, unfortunately. Then again, SMV was a real pain to explore.
