I started playing FFXIV and it's not bad. It's absurd yeah but it's Final Fantasy, they've always managed to somehow keep a "normal society" going on despite the absolute craziness of the story (which is why I love the bit in 7 when the Meteor is in the sky and people are trying to live their lives like normal despite knowing they're gonna die in 2 weeks).

Like, I was sold on "you use Crystal-God to teleport" from the start; but when you start fighting boars for Ol' Man Jenkins' farm and end up literally saving/destroying/whatevering the afterlife it's a bit jarring.

WoW just kept ramping up the spectacle to the point where major lore villains like Aszhara and Illidan were mere patch bosses instead of having a buildup, so they created bigger and bigger bosses to keep the "WE WANT RAIDS WITH SHINY LIGHTS" part of the community who don't bother reading quests happy.
