I don't like FFXIV's community

Nothing here

I like the trust system too!

This point has made me essentially stop high end raiding. People are toxic as hell, tend to overly hype themselves up ability wise (while also disparaging everyone else), and overall just aren't pleasant people to play with/talk to.

John Gabriel's Greater Internet F**kwad Theory has stood almost as long as the MMO scene itself.

a single post from an eleven year old account and talking about toxicity from 2.0? Can I ask what happened recently to prompt this thread?

Hm. A post made after a run that went wrong?

Yup, I'll bet on it. Because toxicity can be present in HL... But people yelling at newbies in dungeons ultra frequently ? It seems a bit grotesque.

Been playing for around a month and only bad "incident" I had so far was someone calling me a monkey :sob:

other than that it's been pretty fun so far.

It's so strange, because I was having a discussion on another forum about how the endgame scene of FFXIV can be extremely toxic and off-putting to people. Dungeons, though? I haven't seen anything more the some passive aggression in Aurum Vale. They're generally way too easy to cause someone to tantrum at a poor sprout.

Have never experienced toxicity in game - I'm usually the one being toxic. But forums, on the other hand...

I play since Shb (3 years ? 4 ? Bloody senility) and had maybe a dozen of those little incidents. Most of the times when it goes wrong everybody just stay silent. Which can be damn stressful when you're a newbie and you just KNOW you f*cked up.

Maybe I'm the virtual equivalent of a capybara.

Edit : is it a new trend to yell on FF community ? 'Cause in the French community, a lot of people complain about it, but they all seem to enjoy being a special snowflake more than anything else.

(I'll slap a cheese on the head of the first person who tells me that it's normal for the French community to complain).
