Nah. The differences between the 2 games are vast. Many of the things I prefer about WoW are subjective things. Those could go either way for most people depending entirely on personal taste.

However, I do think the players should be open to understanding the less subjective issues about how poorly SE runs their game. The FFXI community is similar to a battered wife. No matter how badly she is treated she says, "But I know he really loves me." Sometimes they refuse to look at the situations and think, "Wow, her husband doesn't beat her... maybe it's not so normal."

SEs apathy seems contagious and the players catch it and end up making excuses for SE (I know because I've done it for the last 2 years). They often defend the indefensible. Hopefully SE will realize what's necessary to really run an MMORPG correctly. If, after sometime, I feel that the changes are a little more sincere and SE stays on the path they are currently on, I will considering playing their next MMO. This is something I had written off a while back because I was afraid they would make the same mistakes (and stick stubbornly by them) that they'd made in FFXI. But considering they are mending their ways, perhaps they will be able to produce a decent game after all.
