"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

There's nothing really surprising about FFXIV taking awards that are based on community voting tbh. This games community is undeniably rabid about promoting it's game, to the point that people in communities for totally unrelated games frequently complain about how spammy and annoying FFXIV players are on social media. Content creators for other games get harassed constantly about trying FFXIV, to the point that some of them have made public statements amounting to "please leave me alone".

I know I've seen content creator's now playing, picking on other content creators to try FFXIV more than anything else.
