There is way too much positivity and the game being perfect going around, but again i just find that annoying, not toxic.
There's such a disdain from the general casual side towards raiders that's just... weird. And it goes both ways, for sure.

But it gets bad, imo, when you have players in duties asking for help with their job. "How do I do this, how do I do that," only to get met with "oh you don't have to worry about that." So there's someone clearly wanting to learn, being told that it doesn't matter unless they're looking into higher end content. You've got people making the statement "this part is bad for X job because Y" only to get met with "so? this isn't savage." There's such a dismissal around actually getting better and improving that I've genuinely never seen from any other community, ever.

Those examples aside, look at the reaction when a bunch of WoW players started coming over. "Oh no the WoW players are coming, they're gonna make my community so much more toxic now." People hated that players were coming over from WoW. And now you see it again with XBOX players. There's a general hate towards XBOX players. And yet you see people going on and on and on about how inclusive, accepting the XIV community is. I dunno what they're smoking but I want some of it, because I certainly don't see what they're seeing.
