FFXI is very slow paced in the beginning,infact its very competitive and..grindy expect to die alot because the game forces you to play a race fit for that class or else the downside? you die,Alot. And lose Tons of exp. at some point i couldnt even level i'd grind all the way up to the last kill and die..it also causes frustration because you kill 2 things then you must wait 3-5mins to heal and do it all over again.
Afterwards..around lvl 10 you're FORCED to join a party to even level right,some people dislike soloing even tho its a ffxi genre they should offer some solo capabilities. Alot of people love to take it solo as i previously stated.
Mainly afterwards FF XI Doesn't have much more to offer than WoW maybe 1 or 2 extra features but those aren't even that great and I'm not trying to sound biased.
The community there is a bit..DEAD there is usually no one is on and if they are its probably a bunch of people from japan who are on when you sleep,i find this disappointing also because i had to constantly change servers to find one with a active populace(i didnt).
World of warcraft.
WoW isnt really hard its a pretty easy game,you can solo or party(dugeons,Elite monsters,Party quests) and what not. People complain that WoW is generic alot,well you idiots all games are generic. WoW doesnt offer anything new but it does a good *** job of making thoes so called "old,Used" Game features new.
There isn't much grind other than the fact if your Farming a item or something since u get bonus exp for when you're logged off or in a tavern chatting.
The community is WoW is usually contradicted for kids,well its not. It depends on the server you play not the faction. i.E i rolled on a Role playing server i rarely ran into those "Assholes" or "Kids" in alliance sure there was douches and jocks who thought they were better than you,but isn't that what Ignore is for?
So please before you can contradict a game have facts.

No but really, Your wrong...
-There are couple non party jobs which are MADE for solo, Beastmaster and PuP were made for solo players and if u know what ur doing you level pretty damn fast. Drg can also solo. Other combinations can duo.
-Race matters, but doesn't stop you: I was a Taru Paladin as my first class, Then a Taru Dark then WAR. Taru which is stereotypically the mage onri race.
-There is NO down time between kills if you know what your doing. If your just starting out you will have alot of downtime as u figure out which classes are good for what, what equipment are necessary, which weapon u love the most. How long u should sit when u heal. Which class makes the best tank, Which idiot is leeching you.
- There is ALOT more depth in gameplay 1-75 isnt about jumping from one campsite to the next. There are quests to get into areas, cutscenes, storylines. Bosses, rare mobs.
- The Community is NOT dead, it's actually pretty active, I see newbies coming in every day, and Pros help them out frequently.
- You don't die alot if u have party that has even HALF a clue.
- FFXI is not grindy. The parties are hugely dynamic, the way you have to adjust to each new members fighting style race, class, pulling style to get the absolutely perfect synergy.
You see from what u just said. It's apparent that you were a newb who played with newbs and because the game isn't just rush and mash buttons, it takes some basic level of strategy you failed miserably.
You can't gain basic proficiency in this game in a week. You can't play absent mindly, Your party will fail.
WoW completely aside, FFXI takes skill, practice and active sensibility. Once you have the hang of it the game moves very quickly and the game gets so easy.
To me WoW is exceptionally fun because endgame plays like a LAN party. But the feeling u get when u rushing KRT with a monk party raking up chain 80s. Kiting Vrtra, straight up tanking Everything in sky as a Taru paladin. 12 blm mana burning. Spending 4 hours trying to take down Jourmy. Getting all your summons. Rushing out with the perfect party mixed with japanese players foddling through. Claiming your first King. Raising your first Chocobo their is really no end to the list.
FFXI is an epic Masterpiece and corasked, your just a noob who didn't get anywhere.
Dont be a
Noob.
