Being good at the game makes you a no-lifer with no social skills (especially with the opposite sex) and means you care too much about FFXI, live in a basement and have FFXI as your sole hobby.

Being bad at the game means you have this amazing social life where you have sex approximately 15 times a day and all faults can be forgiven because unlike those ELITISTS you have a real life.

Finally, it is impossible to be good at the game and still enjoy it.
