FFXIV has a great quest driven path that takes you to the end game. WoW has the same. They also include elements that pair you with other players WITHOUT having to go through a helpless process of finding other players just to continue.
Gameplay also consists of more than just holding down spacebar to attack, or spamming 1-2 spells.
By contrast pre-99 gameplay for all classes in NexusTK is either one or the other. It's boring as hell compared to practically any other MMORPG that has came out in the past 10 years.
Thus in NexusTK it's not only practically impossible to level up by yourself pre-99 at a reasonable pace, it's incredibly boring to do so. Add the requirement to pay $9.99 a month for the privilege of being bored out of your mind and it's not hard to imagine why the game has a high turnover among new players.
