Titan Happened. It is the great divider.

But I must admit that people are also spending less time on the game.

Merge the 2 together and you get high toxicity levels.

Taking me as an example, I got less time to help others. Why? I play less, thus must condense all my daily play into lesser hours. The free time I got is spend begging FC and LS to help me with Titan X. In which I usually get some "need to clear" players to do with me and if I am lucky a pro or 2, making up the shortfall by DF or PF. If I find no one, I try to join PF, but that is hard and annoying with JP Only or CLEAR Only parties abound. Then worst after that is DF!!! After which I proceed to wipe in Titan for a hour or two before the team disbands.

On an average day, after all the above, I have no more mood, time or understanding to go out of my way to help others. But I do try to do so. It is just way harder to do so. Compared to the early days where helping others is easy.

Thus yes, I can agree that FF14 is becoming more toxic.
