I think it is more relevant to believe that we are the sole protagonist in the game. ie each person is the main character in their adventure. So when we kill some mob and accomplish that task, in "our" timeline we are the only one that have accomplished this.
Sorta like some parallel universe where we can all see each other but the NPCs are un-able to do so, and when we help others accomplish their lore tasks we are temporarily joining them in their timeline.
(readies another acid trip)
Least that is my thought on it
