What happened to the community

So, high frequency repeat of an occurence, in this case toxic behavior, is anecdotal?
Hmmm.... i think a lot of mathematician and scientist would beg to differ.

Both scientists and mathematicians deal in facts, not personal experiences. Besides your personal experience, can you show me the numbers to support your claim?

Ofc i don't have precise number, i'm playing a game for fun not for statistics, numbers etc... Ah, wait, it's why i'm not fan of savage XD
But, you know, saying everything is fine, nothing changed... that's like, denying the political, societal and economical crisis that NA/EU are facing right now.
Thoses issues are putting burden o people. They build stress, anger, frustration... And then lashes out in online games, where your identity is anonimous, to relieve a bit all of thoses bad emotion.
In fact since the Covid people didn't get any respite, all of this is slowly but surely blowing up... We all carry a freaking time bomb... And a lot of people are just venting.

So tell me, why would FFXIV the only Online game not being affected by this? heck why it would be the only game not affected by this? It doesn't make sense.
The community has changed for the worse, being in denial it's not good.

Your experience is valid, and no one is denying that. You are not the only one to think things have changed. My issue though is saying this is not subjective when it 100% is. Even taking regional differences out, people have different experiences within the same DC. For example, on Aether in NA, S ranks are what many considered "early pulled" often. In the same region you have Dynamis, which honors pull timers almost all the time, and even if early pulled, people wait until the timer to actually unload. The reason I bring this up is if you ask someone from Aether about hunts, and someone from Dynamis about hunts, you'll get two very different answers and experiences even though it's the exact same content.
