You also have to remember that the players from 1.0 ARE the WoL from before the calamity.
Who's to say we don't temper people? We're the most trusted people in Eorzea. Everyone trusted us almost innately. Yes, we killed gods but that can only get you so far. We're trusted more than millennium old traditions in Ishgard, more than grudges between species, more than grudges against other city state militaries.

That all said, I do have bias regarding this theory as it is my favorite theory as to what we are. Ramuh questions our mortality, as does near every primal we fight. Blessing of light they acknowledge but they're always surprised we win somehow. And then Thordan asks that all important question: Not who. But *WHAT* are we?
