Coming from WoW, which is known for it's toxicity, FF has always been a rather interesting mix from what I've observed.

Roulettes are usually fine. I see lots of first timers, a higher number of friendly players than in WoW, people saying hello and the odd bad group which is natural. Mistakes are often taken in stride in easier content, tacts explained if needed.

The harder content and forums however are twice as elite as WoW. I've never seen a more "git gud" mentality in a game. Everything is "git gud" and defended, unnecessary button bloat, clunky controls, animation locks, server delay, whatever is brought up is "git gud". It's something I miss about WoW, they have an extremely smooth, responsive combat system. But I get the feeling FF players would fight to the death against any improvements to theirs. Because it's fine, "git gud" :l
