So millions of people play a competetive Free to play game that boasts the worst community toxicity to date against a subscription MMO that already failed once and is growing in its second iteration?
Yeah exactly. People play lol even though the community is toxic, don't you find that funny ? (it's not much better on FFXIV actually)

Also, even though SE gives you the number of FFXIV's account, they don't give you the actual number of subscribers. Based on the number of viewers on twitch FFXIV is currently faring roughly as well as TESO (also a F2P game).
