Where did you even heard about JP server being paradise...? XD
are you sure this is not some case of "the grass is greener on the other side" ?
To be more precise, usually if something bad happen, they will keep it to themselves, then silently vote abandon1. Nobody is ever toxic or negative, everyone is always extremely helpful and you can make friends with everyone regardless of whether you are japanese, chinese or westerner
they just do it silently, no trash talk, no drama... done, then move on...
but this is almost never happening in normal duty, and rare case in higher difficulty
some degree of japanese language proficiency is also a boost, most of japanese have little proficiency in english
so if you could adjust yourself to the culture and language barrier (mostly, the culture adjustment is enough), its all good
most normal content is clearable via DF, thats true, even extreme trials and to some degree savages as well2. They can clear all content via duty finder and party finder with extreme rates of success, be they savage or ultimates, and the skill level in japanese DCs are tenfold what you would find in NA DCs. There is never any debate or disagreements in duties.
this is possible because we usually have one (or at most two) standard strategy in the form of macros, that almost everybody know how to do the mech, and respected it.
It usually whoever put the marker and macro first, the rest will follow saids stratagem and assign themselves to the roles (MT, ST, H1, H2, D1, D2, etc).
Or in case of PF, the leader will specify, so joiner adjust.
I'm not sure about NA DC since i never play there, but I heard NA DC player have some allergies to macro based strategy ?
oh, also every macro is in japanese, soo... there's that..
I'm not an expert on market board things, but undercuts does exist, high demand will increase the price, low demand will lower the price3. Nobody ever overprices or undercuts severely in the marketboard, the economy is extremely healthy and everything is sold and bought at fair prices.
to be more precise, the social interactions is usually kept about their own social circles,4. Nobody is ever inappropriate in social interactions, there are no sexual advances or swear words, everything is always kept E.
public speaking is rare occurrence here, even in main city aetheryte,
seems to be a difference in culture, as I heard in NA, public says and shout is common occurence,
whereas here, it is almost discouraged to talk in public for selfish reason (i.e. chat with a friend for prolonged time in /says )
almost all ward is full right now, and even if you found a free spot, you still also need to compete with other that also want that plot5. You can buy houses just by walking up to them and clicking on the placard, there are more houses than there are people who want houses.
