Oh no, he does play the game.
He's just the face of the FFXIV development team, trying to play in a mode where people, upon recognizing him and his name (because names aren't hidden in CC), would likely focus target him hard for the sake of memes and internet clout.
So chances are, if he was otherwise unrecognizable, he probably wouldn't have had such a bad time, we wouldn't have had the massive overbuff to BLM, and he wouldn't have had to release statements deflecting accusations of favoritism, and run back some of those buffs like they did.
But, well, that's in the past, I guess.

In the meantime, I have a hard time believing the rationale behind some of their changes as of this last patch, and we suffer as they play around with the nerfs and buffs. But that's also normal, and they're not very good with subtlety, so expect to get rocked even more as the patches continue.
