You know, I always had a problem when people said that FFXI's community was so much better.

It was built around the fact that people are vindictive, and that you're more or less stuck with your character and name throughout your playtime in Vana'diel. People simply weren't direct when they wanted to be douches. Party sucks and you want to leave? Unplug. Other HNM LS showed up? Spam some emotes, crowd around the spawn area, get a bot, try to make smallchat with their main claimer, cheer the monster on when he's kicking their ass, etc. Someone slighted you in an exp/merit/whatever party 2 months ago? Bar him from your group/LS. Someone barely mentions another MMO? Start freaking out calling them noobs/casuals/bads/whatever. Someone didn't play the flavor of the month/season DD class? Worthless player.

FFXI players were very petty and vindictive.
