You could spin that around and apply the same principle to WoW's raids, too. World Firsts, Realm Firsts they all wipe over and over on new content until they actually finish it. (Test Servers kind of ruin this but still) The ones that actually care about being the first to do things of course. This game probably has the same type of people.

Garuda will probably be the same way. You'll have people that will keep trying and trying until they beat it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not refuting that XI didn't have a masochistic undertone but you can apply your example to any game really. There will always be the niche of players who like to brag about being the best/was the first to do it/better than you mentality/dude you didn't even do that content your opinion is invalid/etc. In fact, just look at some of the sigs on this forum and that will tell you all you need to know.
