"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

idk why people are intent on proving the OP right with their passive aggressive responses, but I guess it's supposed to be funny?

Nah just people showing their true colors. As many stated already, we're toxic in a different way and you just explained how the a lot of people in the community acts.

Fights and arguments, TC?

Why are you fighting and arguing with anyone? Just block them.

We lack context so maybe it was justified or OP just likes picking a fight, only they know.

Ok, so maybe you can explain how the responses in this thread are supposed to be passive aggressive since you seem to agree with that sentiment.

Because I don't see how these responses are all that different to any ordinary (non-FFXIV) forum posts.

Or if you think that every forum posters everywhere post passive aggressively, then define that term because I would disagree with that description.

Nice sniping of the comment. That part of my comment was reflecting the community gatekeepers and passive aggressivness. I agreed that there is a passive aggressive tone in this thread and many threads here. It's really in the eye of the beholder tbh.

Even if it is in the eye of the beholder, what makes it passive aggressive to you? How is it any different to any other non-FFXIV posts/threads?

I see the same kind of posts and argumentation style in the WoW forum, for example. Is the WoW community passive aggressive too?

I wouldn't be able to say, I don't hang out on WoW forum and don't play the game enough to tell.

Sounds like you hang out there and play the game enough to say it is or are just you just speculating?
