I'm rather fond of the lore that FFXIV has given us to work with. In my opinion it's a lot more in-depth and interesting than what certain other MMO's are offering at the moment. So, ideally, I prefer it when people work with what we have rather than what we don't have.
If something can be passed off as plausible - even if it bends the lore from time to time - then I have no issue with it. I do, however, have a major issue with the 'I do what I want' mentality that is, unfortunately, quite prevalent within MMO role-playing communities.
I also don't believe that someone should be made to feel ashamed for wanting to adhere to the lore closely. Especially if they're rather fond of the intriguing world FFXIV brings to life.
