You can look at the standards for PvE content and see how often people have freaked out about having a bonus, or new player who hasn't watched a video, etc. to see where part of that fear can come from
Lol. I've played many competitive games and I can say that "westerners" are no worse than the rest of the world. I think FFXIV is the only gaming community I've seen that demonizes itself. People are toxic, not regions. Sure, the Koreans/Japanese might not do things like: Decide they will feed/troll before match start, insult your mother, tell you to die...But they sure as hell won't hesitate to tell you you're shit. On the LoL servers, it was very common for Korean players to tell NA players to "GTFO" their servers due to their suckage.
