My apologies then for assuming some relevance between your latest claim (it wasn't always on Steam) and the one before (that XIV's Steam users are disproportionately WoW refugees, despite WoW never using Steam -- never mind that you have yet to say why those coming from that one particular MMO, as compared to any other, would have such distinct preferences that they would corrupt any sample that includes them).

The only way for those slim 5.5 months, under 6% of XIV's lifespan, to have collected misrepresentative players on the basis that "XIV wasn't always/yet on Steam" is for majority of XIV players to have started playing within the first 5.5 months of the game's lifespan. That is, by all estimates, not the case. Nor is there anything mutually exclusive about having played ARR since its release and having played another MMO prior, WoW included.
