Harassment to Asmongold on his 1st day stream is an Embarassment to FF Community

[Kaurhz]

Do you really think people in other games don't report ToS violations? FFXIV's community isn't unique or special in that regard; SE's willingness to act on them is the only difference between FFXIV and every other online game. The FFXIV has done literally nothing to distinguish itself as being nicer than other online communities.

This Asmongold situation was just an opportunity for the community to show that it's different; but what happened was expectedly the standard fare for yet another toxic online community. The idea constantly being thrown around is that the FFXIV community is different, but it's really not.

I never made that assertion in the first place, my only comment was that the GMs are as good as the community. The community needs to submit reports in order for action to be taken, so it speaks as much of the community as it does the GMs. You seemed pretty apparent in trying to make it clear that SE is the only one doing the legwork here when it is a joint effort by both the players and the GMs to create action and response. If the community were as toxic as you like to believe or the people were trying to paint then these reports would scarcely happen, simple as. - We'd be too busy clawing at each other's throats.

If you are going to use every passing opportunity to paint the entire community with the same brush as what is inarguably behavior exhibited by a minority, then I hate to say it but no collective would conform to your standard of a good community, be it this game, any other game, or otherwise even real life. I've seen just as many people criticizing the behavior and utterly knocking it as there are people exhibiting it in the first place.

It's not that I'm saying this community has no toxic behavior, because it does, but quite a few other people seem awfully keen on painting the entire community with the same brush and label as what is arguably only a small amount of the playerbase exhibiting the behavior. Nah, people reporting this behavior? Definitely not showing defiance and disdain for those displaying the behavior
