That’s the thing about multiplayer games - no matter the game, people never change. Some games incentivize different behaviors, but people will be people and will ruin any game if you let them. I think FFXIV does a much better job in this regard by incentivizing players to treat new players more nicely than WoW does, but that’s my personal experience. You can meet assholes in any game.
And I wasn’t claiming that FFXIV doesn’t have ERP. Merely pointing out the hypocrisy of criticizing it when WoW has the exact same issues that you criticized FFXIV for having.
Besides, this is all a heavy discussion for what was just referencing two memes.
So you successfully pointed out how the players of both games are obnoxious and ruin any incentive to play either title.
And it’s funny how you claim that Wow is full of people ERPing as if it were somehow different- right after I said the same of FFXIV.

So basically you’re turning this discussion into an advertisement for a cringey ERP game. Gonna end this here.
