thats not the case in WoW at all though.
they broke up the linear leveling structure ages ago.

and even before they did that they kept lowering the exp required for past expansions and didnt force people to play 100% of an expansions story. you could level up by running dungeons or PVPing or even gathering herbs and when you reached a high enough level you could just fuck off to the next area. you could even feasibly progress from start to endgame with friends, which is near impossible in FF14 thanks to the MSQ structure.
WoW has never been as rigid as FF14 is.

most new games are dogshit.
the new games that are good are indie which are cheap.
everybody sticks to their forever games now and all forever games are SO jewy that most wont spend hundreds on the microtransactions in them as they arent the whale target audience.
