This is a forum conjured rivalry, not a real one.
Have you seen TalesFromDF/FFXIVDiscussion? Btw, I've experienced it at least a couple times myself lol. I know the subreddit is actually particularly insular at times, but it's by no means a rare occurrence at all. I also don't think it's incredibly frequent. I have personally myself called out leechers and have received flak for it by other players.
