I don't think that means much honestly.
XI had the most amazing community back during it's prime years. You met the most amazing people and made lasting friendships. However, when XI fell out of it's prime years and people started moving on to different MMO/games, the community got smaller and quieter. You don't find as many amazing people anymore, even though the horde of people are gone. You will find a good person here and there, but not so much as it was in prime years.

I see XIV being much the same way. Once it falls out of it's prime, people will move on, the community will shrink and become quiet. Finding people to play with and or connect with gets a lot smaller.
