I'm sorry, I somewhat agree with this statement just because WoW etc. is so easy...you can solo, anyone can do a job, etc.. However, in a game like FFXI, teamwork and doing your job, and reacting in situations are more difficult. Your whole team will die and lose a LOT of time and possibly money if you screw up (not just time lost in the instance or fighting the HNM but also lost b/c of experience loss from dying...).
And it 'is' different. You can say 'I killed a million rats to get here'. The guy who says 'I flipped a million burgers to get here' will probably be ridiculed. An unfortunate characteristic of our society/world. People like similar things. I.e. comfortable things.
