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

[mario710]

Do you have empirical data to prove otherwise? You see, your argument goes both ways.

I think i've seen you posting several times demanding for this "empirical evidence" and "studies". It is quite frankly getting a bit annoying now to keep reading the same arguments over and over.

Toxicity has always been here. Usually on a lesser degree as other games but that also depends on the nature of the game and the type of behaviour devs promote. FF14 is largely a cooperative game. It also requires of you to have some sort of endurance / patience to stomach the MSQ (b4 skips) since it doesn't really let you power through to max level.

It doesn't go both ways. Everything I have stated has been objective in nature.

I avoid stating opinions in these threads for this very reason. Flipping the narrative on me is useless.

It is indeed factual that any number (undefined) of factors will influence a community for better or worse. You ask me to provide evidence of human nature, however, I won't do that. What I will do is restate my point that change is inevitable.

Despite our efforts, everything evolves over time. To claim that WoW immigrants are the problem child of this community infecting everyone is hyperbolic without any semblance of evidence that ISN'T anecdotal.
