How would you rate FFXIV's Community?

[Jynx]

Refuse to rate game as a whole based on forums.

Forums: 5
Ingame:7

People are more talkative than people let on in the forums, sure you might need to initiate the speach at first but I've yet to have any ultra tight lipped people around me.

ON the forums 1:10, this is simply the absolute worst forum community I have ever seen in a mmo (I never thought I would see one worse then WoW's but I was wrong).

Aion pre-forum wipe was much worse.

as a newbie

1 for forums: all there is is crying, complaining, and people thinki they know the game but do not understand the reasons for anything.
1 for ingame: trying to find an active LS is like pulling teeth (in ul'dah) Trying to talk to people outside of LS is again like pulling teeth.


this community is by far the most self absorbed, anti social mmo community I've seen. I much rather deal with the cyber freeks in WoW then to try and get a convo started on here.

This community wants an ffxi-like mmo yet the community is by far worst the Aion + WoW combined. The only think I asked for with this new game is a GOOD COMMUNITY.

And before you talk down how I am on forums, I wasn't the one who started the drama, you guys picked on me for my spelling and difference in opinion just because at the time I didn't play. I still have those opinions and I playing the game I said i was gonna play, and I'm having fun. Just would like ppl to talk to. I'm a nice person if you took time get to know me.

4, i rate the in game community by how much in game talking is going on, I am on Selbina server pretty populated and a few sexual harassment shouts here and there but 'tis no Aht Urghan/White gate. The out of game community ie forums, websites is a 5 on this particular website and a 3 on third party websites. Trolls on this forum care more about the game then trolls on third party websites, and third party websites need to get their crap together as far as wikis go (i have a dirty mouth and I clean up for these forums, so I'm implying here I'm pretty angry at third party websites). I shouldn't need yg, eorzeapedia and maybe even ffxivpro for things. :/

ON the forums 1:10, this is simply the absolute worst forum community I have ever seen in a mmo (I never thought I would see one worse then WoW's but I was wrong). There are about as much active people on the forums that was the game to fail as there are people who want it to succeed. The troll ratio is like 2:1 almost.

In game I would say 7:10, There are alot of people like in XI in game but everyone for what ever reason doesn't interact like they did in XI. So the whole group aspect is hurting.

There are sections other than General Discussion, you know...where trolls aren't.

English:
In game: 4 - There are some nice people I've met in game, but they are not the majority.
Forums: 1 - No need to elaborate.

Japanese:
In game: 9 - We have a very good, active, friendly, and helpful Japanese community.
Forums: 3 - Japanese forums are not very active, and there is a lot of complaining there too. There are also people from the English side who use Google Translate and troll there too, which has really dragged down the quality.

I love how people think there's tons of trolls on this forum. There really aren't people are really quick to call people trolls on this forum. The average person on this forum just cares about the game and has nothing better to do than post on these forums because playing the game isn't cutting it for them for various reasons. At MAX there are 10 trolls on this forum and even then I have seen legitimate posts from Gifthorse, Belgian Rofl, and Vesperia people that are called out all the time, where it seems as if they do truly care about the game they just go about it in a negative way according to people. This forum doesn't even have serious trolls and some people need to evaluate their definition of troll. Because having 2000 posts doesn't always make you a troll, having 2000 posts which contribute absolutely nothing to the forums and overly bashing people on purpose makes you a troll. Overly negative comments make you overly negative. There are some trolls and some trolling but not a 2:1 effing ratio.

As an addendum, posting stupid stuff is not trolling. That is posting stupid stuff. Trolling is posting with the intent to start a flame war, which I haven't seen more than 3 or 4 times in the past 2 months.

One thing I don't like about FFXIV community is racism

a lot of players don't want to play with player from other regions and SE do nothing about this issue or don't even count it as an issue

they need to pay more attention since they're running an international servers

That is nationalism, not racism.
