FFXIV is so much better than this "MMO". More social features. In-game raid matchmaking. Tons of dungeons to do. Nothing is ever really "nerfed" outside of the PVP. There's new content every single month. There's minimal microtransactions. You can reach max iLvl without doing the Raid, but why would you? The Raids are amazing in FFXIV. All the story is inside the game, and not locked behind a grimoire. You have more than 3 classes, with even more jobs.
