The Community Is Fine - people are not perfect, neither are you

[zakalw3]

Too many threads are being are commenting on the "toxicity" of ARR's community, too many posts about experiences with individuals who were anti-social with exclamations that these singular happenings spell the downfall of everything.

This community is the exact same as every single commercial game ever made. There are "decent" people, and "bad apples", and the reason these are in quotation marks is these people are largely one and the same.

Yes, there are some who are constant days of sunlight.
Yes, there are those who lure storm clouds wherever they go.

But the vast majority are just normal people, people who have good days and bad.

I've been gaming for 20 years, from child to adult, and every single online community has been the same.

There's no difference between CoD or Battlefield
There's no difference between Dota or League
There's no difference between ARR and any other MMO out there

If you think there is you're one if a few things:

Deluded
Extremely unlucky (an outlier)
Ignoring the good and focusing on the bad
One of the extremes

Remember folks: bump into a jerk in the morning, you bumped into a jerk; bump into jerks all day, you're the jerk.
