Most of the player base new and older came from WOW at one point, I've been an MMO player since 2000, I got in to them because I didn't have time for D&D while working full time as a Parts Manager in a Motorcycle shop. I got into WOW in 2005, I got into FFXIV the first time in 2010, but it failed to impress, I got back into it in 2015 when Ion said he hated flying. I maintained a sub in both games for years, only giving up WOW at the start of Shadowlands. The WOW community on average is older than the FFXIV community, the people leaving from WOW to FFXIV are made up of the people who are just done with that company. We wont keep that many of them, as PVP was the main glue in WOW, so other PVP focused MMOs will be doing well soon.


As for your complaints on Paladin, meh. Toxic players can be silenced easy, just report them and be done with them. But if you want to be happy, let people know you are learning the Job, most people wont mind. Just type "/p New to paladin, please be patient." most will just give you a "o7" and you can do your thing.
Well actually, I have been called a "R*****" several times in the last month because I have communicated that I have learning and coordination disabilities. I used to tell people that and you were indeed correct but not recently, I have personally noticed a large polarity shift in the games community just on the server I am on. So you can understand I am reluctant to discuss anything about my own personal disabilities with other players. But I am 33, so at these point, I am used to being treated that way by people.
