I have one friend who likely falls into that category. They've been in MMOs for 15 years. If they haven't 'gotten it' by now. They're not going to. No handicap either.
Never met anyone like that but it really sounds like they indeed have some kind of handicap if they've been in MMOs for 15 years and can't adapt to an MMO which isn't much different from the standard formula.

FFXIV is as standard as they come, I sense that something isn't right with your story.
