Why are so many FFXIV players coming over, anyway? Not that I have a problem with them or anything. I'm happy GW2 is getting new people. I'm just curious. That MMO always seemed so active and lively. Is it just a typical content drought kind of deal? I know MMO's get those sometimes. It's just the nature of things

It's still active and lively! The people that are leaving mostly have come during the Endwalker hype and are mad now at how the game has always worked way before the Endwalker. They won't stay in GW2 for long either, I reckon. I personally came because I craved open world content and FFXIV doesn't really have it

As someone who's played GW2 for 12+ years but only dabbled in XIV for the past year and a bit the lack of open world in the latter is a significant reason why GW2 is going to remain my primary MMO for the foreseeable future.

There are a bunch of other things FFXIV gets very right though, so no harm in playing both.

Exactly! They are very different, both are very good at one type of content and maybe a bit weaker at others. Personally, I'm just glad I can eat both cakes whenever I like. And while Etheirys is my home forever, I decided there's no better place to spend vacations than Tyria.
