People who treat this game like a single player game with social skill issues and quite often view other players as merely NPCs or obstacles / tools to them view universally accepted tools to befriend / socialise and talk to each other as a personal attack against them - It's an MMO after all. It's just more common in FFXIV because the community and dev attitude has been a bit too welcoming and accepting of them and now they'll go leaving opinion pieces saying "Please don't listen to X and Y they don't represent the community" when what they're really saying is "I am the community, listen only to me".
