If you can't take feedback or advice without having a mental breakdown, MMO's most likely are not the right genre for you.
People don't always "choose" to underperform. People newer to the game (or heck, just to a particular class) will likely not perform as well as experienced players. People with disabilities or whose mental or physical acuity has declined can still be playing their very best and yet "underperform."

Personally, I think the direct response to your last sentence is that FFXIV is exactly the proof that you are wrong - it shows a game can be very successful in the MMO genre while cracking down hard on toxicity and insisting its playerbase show basic civility to each other.

I do, however, find it very interesting the kind of people who fall on certain sides of debates like this and also where they fall with FFXIV and EW in general.
