WoW's got a lot of wiggle room in that context: There's no specific main character for each expansion and it's widely acknowledged that bands of adventurers are the ones doing the slaying of mostly everyone. I think it's kind of neat for server continuity to have such things.
...that just doesn't lend itself so well to FFXIV. Since we're given a canonical hero who has done everything in the Warrior of Light, it's a lot more tricky to establish these sorts of things. For non-canonical stuff I think it's kind of neat: As someone who PVPed a lot in WoW I took some pride in wearing my gear when it was relevant to RP.
...buuuut that's tricky even in XIV, since PVP is tied directly to adventuring companies established with the Grand Companies. So if you were good at, say, Wolves' Den, it would also mean you're a ranking officer/soldier of some degree in your city-state. As far as the lore is concerned (I think!) the only way into the war games is through the Companies.
Duel grindstone when?
