How did the community become this toxic?

More and more WoW players are moving in.

So i played FFXI for 5 years and WoW for 2. Am I a WoW player?

I won't say it's WoW players! Believe it or not my former WoW guild had mostly EQ/FFXI players. As time progressed the younger "ME NOW" and "Deuchy" people began to play! This only trickled down into MMO's!

Seriously, what happened?

Human nature.

Vanilla WoW had more in relation to Everquest and FFXI than current WoW does (seeing as most of the dev team were ex-Everquest raiders). Remember when you had to walk to battlegrounds?

I sure do, I miss the days of the true "Alterac Valley". It's when you could summon your ICE LORDS and other resources, before Blizz turned it into a Race where everyone runs straight to your General.

I haven't seen the toxic community on Faerie. I do know the people who are the elites of Faerie Server. So, I avoid them even though I'm jealous of their weapons.

I wanted to chime in to say we are playing two very different games when it comes to player interactions.

Do I see ill-mannered individuals at times? Of course, but they are far and few, and it's been better since 2.1. I consider myself a dungeoneer, as I have run dungeons primarily for leveling DoW/DoM classes and surface to say I have played with players from all over the game. I've seen all types of attitudes and behaviors and many ranges of player skill levels. But in my opinion, the majority of the runs I have interacted with people that are friendly, helpful and overall pleasant to party with.

I do wish the server communities we closer together, and worked together more than just end game contents.

I know this, once elder scrolls online comes out you are gonna see a big dip in players on this game.

Here is one big reason that's killing it for me, FFXI was all about being geared, this game is becoming the same thing, You are after better gear that is your focus and less story line and quest to progress.

Then you have Titan Hard mode you cant win because people leave and when one person leaves they all leave, you have the AH in shambles, people are getting abusive with those kicks I have seen people kick someone for absolutely nothing. game is going down hill quick plus content is rinse - rewash fights and dungeons get repetitive.

WoW's new expansion was just announced. Those players are already on their way OUT of FF14, not coming in.

It is just the new generation of gamer. we are still here, just we know that reading the forums and really asking questions is useless. the people who flock to forums post misinformation and have pissing contests about punctuation. Forums are all but useless now. I wouldn't judge a community on them, as most of the community veers away from them.
