But because FFXIV is in the current mmorpg 'zeitgeist' -it's this games turn to have this pointed out?

Oh yes, so this is what it feels like to nibble on the bait.

I hate this so much.
Tunnel focusing on things they feel they are associated with.

Virtue signaling to distract from their personal flaws.

Obsession with what others do instead of focusing on having fun with what they do themselves.

Social media conditioning to be part of the "popular" crowd.

If people gave more importance to what they do instead of to what they have, bots wouldn't be a problem.
