The FFXIV Community

[Tigercub]

In game has been better, but it can still be a very cynical environment, and much of this does carry over.

^quoting myself.

I know the forums are much worse, but from my experience I felt like the community was going downhill towards then end of 1.x. That is just my own experience. I'm more curious about how you guys feel about the community right now and its potential in ARR. If you've had good experiences, you could elaborate on those to add some contrast.

The game was broken

What else is there to say

People are not happy

Sadly, this is irrelevant. The forum community is the most Visible display of the players of the game. While most people will never actual read this page, any Serious gamer who looks in to games before he tries them will have his first experience be the opinions seen here. A lot of people who refuse the even try an MMO typically do so because of what they hear about the people who play.

I'm an avid believer in this because I tend to do it myself. It's not a super accurate assumption to make but I never found it to be too far off. Word gets around quickly about the good and the bad of MMO communities.
