I see what you're saying, but the "white knight" is diametrically opposed to the "troll". I agree with your overall idea, just the wrong terms are being used.

The thing is, FFXIV's white knights are doing both white knighting and trolling simultaneously. They are defending what is obviously not perfect, and also attacking those who say otherwise. They believe they are rescuing the game from destruction by doing so, or at the very least want others to believe their intent is rescuing the game.

I have witnessed a couple of these kinds of people who did return after months of inactivity after 1.18, say everything is perfect, and bash everyone who has any kind of issue with the patch.

That isn't trolling.

I think bashing and personally attack people for having an opinion is called trolling.
