What is up with this toxic community

[Knahli]

Maybe it cause I'm on Balmung but I have never found there to be a "wonderful community", but then again Balmung does have it reputation for a reason.

True that.

Really? I was intending on posting the exact opposite and how I guess I find that surprising since I should expect worse from such a packed server. Maybe it's that I don't raid or POTD, but I never had bad experiences on the server as a result of the community. In fact, the only time I ever really come face-to-face with it is on the forums since people are way more prone to post threads complaining rather than praising so it often feels like you're just walking into a brick wall of negativity(to the point you wonder why these people continue playing really, but I digress).

Really, the only thing that bothers me about the community on Balmung is the shout chat during events or just... well, Ul'dah acting up as it sometimes does. It's never anything to do with drama though, sometimes it's legitimate conversation, but other times it's just people making random tasteless jokes and assuming everyone reading it finds that hilarious; so, you can argue that it is more a personal distaste I suppose but either way I still wouldn't deem that as a "bad" and certainly not a "toxic" community.

Well I wouldn't really say Balmung is a bad or toxic community to some of the degree this thread most likely pointing at but I wouldn't call it a wonderful community either.

Hmmmm, maybe I got lucky then, When I first started on Balmung, I got pulled into a super friendly FC and haven't had any real problems with toxic people. Outside of RPers who get randomly mad at you cause "The tip of your tail was in this screen shot that was supposed to be a picture taken in our RP. Fuck you!" or something like that. If anything...Balmung is super quiet. Except for that one time in Ul'dah where I had a shout conversation with 5 strangers about Yu-Gi-Oh for half an hour.
