I have discovered that all communities in every MMO say they are better than all the others, but really, we are all just human.That's a cute jump to conclusions. Still perpetuating the facade, I see. The FFXIV playerbase can't be bad! It must be me!
Actually I just enjoy a cooperative experience where everyone contributes their share of the effort required to beat the duty.
FFXIV has become...not that.
I dunno man, that's true to a point, but this game's community has been FAR AND ABOVE more welcoming and understanding than League of Legends or any of the FPS games I play.
You can't really compare MMO to MOBA/ FPS communities though.
Those are, by nature, completely different. MMOs always had a heavy emphasis on the social aspect while in FPS and MOBA that is basically non-existent because the goals are different. MMOs offer a lot of things to do outside difficult endgame content and are suited to "just spent time ingame" while FPS/ MOBA are heavily competetive and don't really encourage "just playing a bit" or social interaction. And the fact that you're heavily dependant on your group's performance is also a huge factor why FPS/ MOBA communities are generally less understanding and short-tempered.
They target completely different audiences so it's only natural for them to have completely different communities aswell.
While many MMO players view FPS/ MOBA players as a bunch of toxic, ranting little kids, many FPS/ MOBA players see MMO players as a bunch of whiny little princesses who cry when you don't cuddle them.
And neither are completely wrong...
