When people worry and care too much about who is playing that is when gatekeeping happens.
I can literally link you threads upon threads where players who asked for more challenging content got told to play a different game because "it's not the game for them" from 2.0 beta and onwards, even though this game was originally the game for them. Infact here's one I remember off the top of my head: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...FXIV-more-easy

so you can act like this community won't throw a fit and try to gatekeep an whatnot but the more "hardcore" players come to play the game again and start incorporating themselves into the community the more gatekeeping/drama you'll see.

meh whatever though. we all know history will just repeat itself here since it'll just be a repeat of the "More Like WoW vs More Like FFXI" debate in 2013 or whether they should add in Jumping and so on. Honeslty though? after 10+ years playing this game on/off i'm just too tired to care anymore.
