1. 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
2. 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.
3. Nobody ever overprices or undercuts severely in the marketboard, the economy is extremely healthy and everything is sold and bought at fair prices.
4. Nobody is ever inappropriate in social interactions, there are no sexual advances or swear words, everything is always kept E.
5. 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.

If this is all true, this sounds like paradise for most ffxiv players and exactly the ideal world they would like to play in, but if someone here is part of a japanse DC, could you confirm or deny any of these statements?

It would be a boring place if everyone thought the same thing. Japanese people aren't drones and other than the unofficial "SEA" server, you probably shouldn't be on their server as they do discriminate. I'm not sure how many unofficial "SEA" servers there are but they do get annoyed with foreigners because honestly the culture difference is significant.

Huh? Who are these gods?

3. Nobody ever overprices or undercuts severely in the marketboard, the economy is extremely healthy and everything is sold and bought at fair prices.
A fair price is always the price people are willing to buy it at. There's no such thing as not undercutting or using marketing strategies. What kind of weird communist world do you think Japan lives in?

4. Nobody is ever inappropriate in social interactions, there are no sexual advances or swear words, everything is always kept E.
Again, what kind of world do you think Japan resides in? It's just as bad if not worse.

5. 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.
Did you just make up these random "facts" on the spot? It takes a special someone to believe any of these. lol
