Just remember it's a THEM thing not a YOU thing The current toxic sludge you're dealing with are generally here from other MMO communities and don't have the FF XIV Community mindset that bring you in from the leveling dungeons The helpful polite players that genuinely want to see other people succeed and maybe surpass themselves is tossed to the wayside by those who think they're WINNING a game.

Bear in mind that alot of the problem stems from those people moving in from other MMOs While the one that wont be named that was beyond a disappointment caused yet another loss of subs those subs moved here and before you knew it we had 14 million people subbed (I've played both this was the better investment.) Thats alot of people with vastly different mindsets from what we got used to over the years.

Now I'm rambling I guess what I'm saying is never give up theres kind players out there.
