Does Final Fantasy have one of the nicest MMO communities?

I encourage more people to do this on their own server.

Nicer players are out there, but the nasty ones are more vocal. I've been considering starting a Linkshell for some of this if its still a problem by the time I hit 50. While I expect a good number of the hostile sort to move on to other MMOs once they "get bored from having zerged it all" the tone they have set will likely linger for a year or more among a good portion of the community.

Not all MMO communities have these problems though. Just the ones with things like 'Duty Finder', cross server pairing, and a lack of accountability tools. Couple that with vertical progression - and its a recipe for conflict.

Yet you leveled to 50?
I don't understand you people wasting your time on something you think is terrible.

I do not even consider those kind of people being part of the FF-Community. Those are probably the 1-Month Runners, FT-Player etc, before they switch to a different Game and will be all like "I've beaten the Game".

I do not even need to ask "that guy" which MMO's did he play, before he joined FFXIV. I can tell by his attitude lol. If you run across some nice people being full geared in DF, dont care about wiping, failing, repeating stuff over and over and also will help you to improve your Gameplay, than you have met a FF-Player, who probably played FFXI and FFXIV 1.0. There are idiots in all communities, but currently those "bad shiners" you would meet during DF, are coming from other Games like LoL, WoW, Tera. Those Games were i experienced the exact same dense attitude i currently see in DF-Groups.

Most of them will weed out earlier or later and apparently it got better allready. During the last 1-2 Weeks i've met like 2-3 of bad people, while before i've met them in almost every run.

I haven't had any issues with bad apples, but I avoid using dungeon finder by principle. Outside of DF everyone is awesome.

I agree, must be all the anime and porn they watch.

FF14 has next to LoL the worst community I ever met Online.

I did write off DF for a while as I've had plenty of bad experiences on my way through story, but then pondered on it a little more, and now I use it again from time to time :)

I try my best to go in with the intention of being patient, asking if people are new, explaining things if they are, not automatically needing stuff just because the button is clickable (only on actual upgrades), speaking up if someone is being picked on, apologising if I make a mistake, and never leaving a group even if it's made up mostly people learning the run/patterns and many wipes occur. If I click that Join button I'm prepared to give the time it says on the form with no expectation of a win, not going in expecting fast perfect clear.

But the real community for me is the people in my FC and Linkshell, and they make me proud to be a part of it :)

What helped the community aspect in DCUO as far as random ques that this game could benefit from is the vote to kick and invite to instance feature DC had. I have been lucky since I run with three of my RL buddies but even then I have had to use DF and it seems that the most toxic players seem to be healers and tanks. The beauty of the game is the ability to lvl multiple classes so if the healer is a jerk just kick him and inv a friend who either is h healer or can be a healer.

I've found Dungeon Finder and the community as a whole absolutely brilliant.

Now if you want trash, go log on to any NA Tera server - the immaturity is rife.

Definitely one of the worst communities. Been around since UO, too.

Not saying UO was better or anything.
