The "Wow Refugee's" impact on the FFXIV Community?

[CazzT]

One thing that does worry me tho is the perception that all wow players are toxic, we are not. Until i spoke up on this thread no one outside my fc even knew i was former wow. I have kept it that way because of this negative perception of all warcraft players being toxic. Yeah that game does have a high level of toxicity, but to anyone reading this please don't judge the individual based on the actions of the community.

I've noticed this, too. Especially on the forums. I've never understood why people fall victim to that mentality.
Just because a community has earned a reputation, doesn't mean that community will not have people in it that are the opposite of that reputation.
