It's not so much divisive but it's both possible and impossible. Like Schrodinger's Miqo'te. Ugh, describing it is a chore with my head pounding and I know I'm not saying what I'm actually getting at. How to put it. I guess basically the idea is, even if you met them it wouldn't matter, because you wouldn't be able to describe them accurately, because there is no accurate way to do so, because the WoL is everyone doing the MSQ and as of right now there's no visible representation of them in-game like there is derplander. So you can't really interact with them and know it's them, because they only exist as the situation demands because to everyone else they're just an adventurer. And the events occurring around them likely would just be rumor to the general public, or news reports. And no pictures.
Edit: I don't think Estinien had a best mate in school. He was kind of a dick.
