I think the ToS and general vibe of the community are sufficient enough to ensure that we don't see "toxic" behavior at large.
Sure, but in WoW the regulation is literally nonexistent. What's stopping FF14 from having a damage meter implemented in the game so people actually KNOW they're not playing well, while still regulating it, albeit to a less extreme but still very reasonable extent? After all, ACT isn't what shows you the tank is positioning the boss wrong, the game itself does that, and yet people aren't using this information to be toxic either.
