LuckyBancho data shows that FF14 is in decline

Players who opt in to make the achievements public are of course more dedicated than the average player. So this data shows that the more dedicated players are more likely to "terminate" in Endwalker.

What are you basing this on? Dedicated players can't want privacy?

I think it would be a fair assumption to make that someone who isn't dedicated at all would probably not even realize you could opt-in to make achievements public in the first place.
I certainly didn't know that, until this thread.

Why would that show dedication? They can't be achievement hunters if they don't go make them public?

Because it's also reasonable to assume that someone who's dedicated would look into features and sub-features, such as the ability to publicize their own achievement hunting and, potentially, connect with like-minded individuals for the game.

You're welcome to continue to think only in absolute extremes, of course. Don't let your feigned desire for non-extremes stop you from making your own for the sake of moving your own goalposts.

You can be an achievement hunter without making them public, it is just common to, for one simple reason: collecting websites ask you to so that they can track more of your achievements without you having to input it manually. It is also more likely for a veteran to be an achievement hunter because of running out of things to do after beating the MSQ and deciding to do that.
