>asymmetric game where you can sneak into Horde territory as an Alliance race and get up to mischief
for the record i have also played xiv
no one really does stuff like that anymore because the playerbase is so old and lazy and jaded and there's no "reason" to go fuck around in enemy territory and the modern story has formed a tacit peace between the factions
the only reason (at least in retail wow) one might organize a small raid on the enemy capitals would be a completionist looking to get an old achievement for killing faction leaders (you get a mount but the modern playerbase is so collectionminded that they would more likely sit and cheer you on as you killed their faction leader instead of mounting a defense)
although having the potential to do it and other things like it is appealing, i dont like how xiv does its systems and zones where its mostly claustrophobic set dressing and theres no cool secrets and items to find which wow is more sandbox-y in that respect
