Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription đ

They mock you for subscribing to an online service. I mock you for subscribing to WoW instead of FFXIV. We are not the same.
(Insert FFXIV free trial meme here)

FFXIV is just a drip pageant. Seems like itâs little else but people standing around role playing fetishes.

Iâve heard the plot is actually pretty good

And WoW isnât? The big advantage FFXIV has there is dye channels on their armor instead of recolored sets (though WoW is better in the way you collect transmogs without having to actually store the item somewhere). And youâve clearly never been to Goldshire or seen the lvl 1 trolls dancing naked on mailboxes in Orgrimmar. WoW is full of people ERPing.
The biggest difference between the two is that WoW doesnât give a damn about the story and each xpac is obsolete when the new one releases, while FFXIV puts the story first with each xpac being a new chapter and keeps content as evergreen as it can. WoW also caters to their endgame raiders above everyone else, while FFXIV claims to put casual players first (though whether or not this is true is hotly debated in the community at any given time).

So you successfully pointed out how the players of both games are obnoxious and ruin any incentive to play either title.
And itâs funny how you claim that Wow is full of people ERPing as if it were somehow different- right after I said the same of FFXIV.

Thatâs the thing about multiplayer games - no matter the game, people never change. Some games incentivize different behaviors, but people will be people and will ruin any game if you let them. I think FFXIV does a much better job in this regard by incentivizing players to treat new players more nicely than WoW does, but thatâs my personal experience. You can meet assholes in any game.
And I wasnât claiming that FFXIV doesnât have ERP. Merely pointing out the hypocrisy of criticizing it when WoW has the exact same issues that you criticized FFXIV for having.
Besides, this is all a heavy discussion for what was just referencing two memes.
