[[ Why do we miss the old FFXI community ]] What made it special ??

Mainly because even tho it took 6 hours to get a tank, someone didnt rage quit out over one mistake 2 hours into a grinding party.
Needless to say this community is horrible when it comes to manners and gaming Etiquet,
they feel that even tho thts a person your dealing with, it doesnt pretain to real life.
you sure as heck wouldnt treat your co-workers the same way you treat your fellow FFXIV players.

This is a bald faced lie! I can't count the number of people who would yell and scream in P Chat about a single death, rage quit the party, page quit and try and MPK, or fake a DC... Hell, the number of rage fueled arguments I had to endure in XI if you just suggested going to a non traditional camp, complete with sexist/homophobic/elitist slurs far exceeded anything I ever saw here or even in WoW. People would even insult you and drop party if you didn't reach x amount of exp per hour. And the old canard of " your rep would follow you and you wouldn't progress" Somehow every jerk in XI I ran into and then bumped into later, was always tricked out in BiS gear and in some of the big name LSs, and was still a massive jerk
