Just like with jobs the reward is fictional: fiat money.
Why would I work a job when I get better rewards from a video game? The atmosphere is better, the world looks nicer, the soundscape is richer, etc.

Why work? In games I kill the boss. In real life I work for him.

XIV is often praised simply because it was improved at the right time (the transition from 1.0 to ARR) and was one of the few mmorpgs with a strong focus on story. These aspects, along with the cult-like behavior of the community, created a reputation that does not reflect reality. Similarly the narrative that the community is especially kind and positive "xD" persisted for a long time, even though it is in truth one of the most toxic, witch hunting and hostile communities in the entire mmo genre lmao

it is also important not to forget how critics were systematically silenced by the community in a manner reminiscent of gestapo tactics all the way through to Endwalker.

Imho xiv is a prime example of how a community can slide into authoritarian thinking, ignore reality and put a game and its devs on a near godlike pedestal.

Every FF after IX was and is shit.
