There were a few characters in GW2 who said they killed the dragon, but the NPCs around town indicate that the dragon was alive and well as did many characters. This just creates a headache environment as people try to find a reason for their characters to stand out of the crowd.
In regards to FFXIV, I am okay with people fighting the Primals. During the storyline, the cs when you are listening to the GC's giving their speech, Raubahn or the children, I forget, say that the Immortal Flames have gone out many times and defeated Ifrit, but their resources and numbers will just continue to decrease. They also state that the summoning of the Primals is happening at a much faster rate. If a character wants to say he was in a party that quelled one of the primals, I will play along with it, but they better have a damn good battle story to tell me. As long as they are not saying that they killed or defeated a major plot character, such as the main Garlean baddie from 1.0 or saying they are a part of the Scion (which is an extremely small organization).
While the core of the Scions is small, I seemed to think it was implied that they're basically collecting all the people with Echos since they mention others aside from their leader and the hero of the story. Momodi also seems to think they're moving in earnest... as in recruiting loads of capable adventurers to their cause. So while they may have been small originally, that could be changing.
So, yeah, I wouldn't complain about that so much as someone actually mentioning they're part of it since it's supposed to be a secret organization of sorts.
