Again, don't have anything against FFXI.. but it's not the holy grail of communities where nothing bad ever happens that people seem to try and perpetuate on these forums.
Well, to me, the people in XI were more mature and willing to cooperate and help each other. There wasn't much you could accomplish solo. So people were respectful to each other. In my experience, if someone was struggling or wasn't quite understanding a job or mechanic, people would help out politely (usually in tells to not embarrass). There was just a completely different attitude.

Of course there were some mean and angry people too, but that was rare in my experience. Maybe people also had more patience too, since so much content required patience.
