Yes, because "real battle experience" against bots is very much useful against an actual person in battle. Especially when you take two years off from "real battles" because you'd rather spend more time snuggling with your girlfriend. If you don't train actively, your skills aren't going to be as sharp as they used to be.

On the other hand, "living" in the world is quite an important factor that you seem to be disregardong yourself. VR isn't quite the same as real life. People who spend more time in VR are more accustomed to these differences.
