You could say that of Runescape or a few these old, still around games. I mean Guild Wars 1 just has an update even if it's not comparable.
Subscribers numbers might be relatively low (compared to its peak) but there is still huge interest in WoW. You only need to see it's engagement numbers on Reddit or Twitch. Shadowlands will see a peak of interest again.
I didn't play WoW until '07 so joined during The Burning Crusade. Loved the game but had been playing a lot of Xbox 360 at the time and remember asking my WoW-addicted friend if I could use a joypad...he didn't stop laughing for a few mins! Yet ironically a significant percentage of MMOs/similar Live Services (TESO, BDO, Tera, DC:U, Warframe or PoE etc.) all support joypads as a given. Interesting how times change.

FFXI was built around the pad so it can work really well, though in since the PS2/3/360 versions had been shutdown and PC was the only place to play it(still) alot of the modding scripts and dual-boxing requiring keyboard shortcuts, so it swung form pads to mainly Keyboard users... of the 15 odd people i play with still only 2 others and myself still use a pad, with discord sorting out communication.

There's absolutely no chance anyone can be competitive at PvP using a control pad for WoW. Each and every one of those skills (around 50+ for a Warlock) need binding to a key or a ctrl/shift/alt modifier for instant access, and that's not counting space for any macros or other shortcuts.
You can't just take your time and cycle throw a batched drop down with the shoulder buttons or with some kind of command wheel toggle. It's wildly different to FFXI, and multitudes more responsive at that.
