It cracks me up how many of the elite players constantly get "attitude" after recommendations or explaining mechanics. If it keeps happening, maybe its in the way *you're* behaving? I've explained mechs many times to people, and I honestly can't think of one moment where a person got angry or felt attacked. There's a way you can discuss things like a decent group of people - methinks the elitists (especially with the attitude most possess on the boards) forego this. I'm willing to make a very large wager that 9 times out of 10 it's a pre-made group of 6-7 people ganging up on some poor souls from PF.

I stopped playing WoW around Wrath of the Lich King, and honestly I didn't notice the game was *that* toxic. I stopped playing FFXIV, initially, right around 2.4, and the community seemed much saltier at that time. I feel like it's gotten much better and actively has more "nice" players than WoW did, even though the toxic people can be just as toxic in both.
