that changed when SE decided to follow the status quo and cater to the "modern" (lol, copying a certain special 8+ year old game is called "modern") mmo crowd
we did have some "bullies" before but after the floodgates opened, that welcomed all the douches from all over

That has less to do with catering to the modern mmo crowd and more the fact that more people played the game in the first.
Granted i didn't play before ARR but i seen it happening in sooo many other games and people keep saying stuff like this.
The % of assholes stays the same but because more people play, there are more of them aswell.
I take it you never played FFXI because bullying was rife there except not only was in personal but also parties bullying others over camps .. bird camp in ToAU anyone? .. MPKing, etc.
No FFXIV isn't new when it comes to providing opportunities for bullies and griefers in general.

you didn't play 1.0 FFXIV? because i did, it was the same as during the time i played FFXI, i'll quote the poster above you as what he said is what happened
i have to disagree with you here completely. in 1.0 the servers knew who their rude and abusive players were and avoided them. they did so because it was such a small percentage of players. on karnak there were only 2-3 people that were known rude and abusive and those people had major issues getting into any party. those people are no longer restrained to their own servers due to duty finder so they get to go and harass other people from other servers now since the people on their own sever will not play with them. then you bring over this "new" mmo gamer that wants everything now with zero effort and you have a total mess.
ARR was the floodgates, if you didn't understand what i said in my eariler post Kraggy
